“Beyond the Pages: How Summer Stewart is Revolutionizing Indie Publishing with Unsolicited Press”
DR: And what do you look for in authors or manuscripts?
SS: What are we looking for? Essay collections. Poetry. Experimental anything. Hybrids. Literary novels. Novellas. Short story collections. Memoir. Nonfiction.
Personally, I’m looking for poetry and nonfiction right now. I enjoy weird, experimental, and cross-genre work. One of our nonfiction books that I love and recommend to Hippocampus readers is Dream Pop Origami: A Permutational Memoir About Hapa Identity by Jackson Bliss, for a couple of reasons. It’s a memoir in essays, written in a very ambitious and also fun way — as a choose your own adventure. Also Jackson is an amazing performer, a powerhouse reader of his work, which makes for the ideal publisher/author partnership, which is such an important part of the equation, particularly for an independent press.
