Mission / History
Gasher Press is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit publisher. We are interested in fresh voices and innovative forms. Make everything useful.
​
Who we are:
-
Gasher is made up of a volunteer staff so that we can focus our resources on writers.
-
All profits from book sales and submission fees are reinvested in opportunities and prizes.
-
We champion our authors with gracious royalties, no preorder minimums, collaborative book design, and meaningful editing.
-
We work to create opportunities in editing, publishing, and awards for underrepresented writers and editors. We welcome feedback on how we are doing and how we can improve.
-
Our Bennett Nieberg Transpoetic Prize and First Book Scholarship are always free to submit to.
-
We are micro. Meaning we are small but mighty. We can't offer tour stipends and we don't have a hired marketing person, but we work diligently to submit our books for prizes, attend book fairs, organize reading tours, and find review platforms.
