High Frequency Press

High Frequency Press High Frequency is our response to a changing marketplace. Forward motion is necessary. New books! Larger presses are becoming celebrity-driven conglomerates.

A NOTE FROM HIGH FREQUENCY

High Frequency is a new press established by The New Guard and The Writer's Hotel. Our over 20+ years of industry experience will allow High Frequency to be well-perched within the market we envision. We will publish only the highest quality work—work we believe in wholeheartedly—work that bucks the new norm. We created The New Guard and The Writer’s Hotel as good liter

ary citizens, to serve writers and dig deep into writing craft. Writing shapes culture. High Frequency will publish a handful of outstanding and overlooked books in the next few years, including some of our own original work. And we’ll be running full-length manuscript contests: The Skywave Fiction Contest and The Morse Code Poetry Contest. Skywave winners will be published by HF and receive 25 copies and publication plus film and television agent referrals. Morse Code winners will also be published by HF and receive 25 copies; in lieu of agents, they will also get 15 poems published in our e-zine. We anticipate that High Frequency will publish The New Guard, but we will be taking a short hiatus for now as we focus on building the press. TNG is part of the inspiration for HF, and we have loved working with TNG writers for over a decade. Stay tuned for our upcoming HF Light Speed E-Zines, which will feature a single short story, both printed and read, with a few extra treats included. Also coming soon: our interactive and collaborative literary world map, HF’s LitWorld.

::For now, we are not accepting unsolicited submissions to our press. But our fiction and poetry contests will be in full swing until June 8!::

More about "Make Good Choices":

"Make Good Choices" is a deeply-rendered love note to Chicago in four story sections. “Larkins” follows Gabriel Larkin’s family’s move from a South Side Irish-American neighborhood to the suburbs. “Old Chicago” centers on unlikely reunions and alliances from the 1960s to present day, highlighting cultural institutions of the Loop threatened by street violence. In “Difficult Kids,” a foster child’s deepest desire to belong finds him falling in love with the girl next door, a budding pianist. “Larkin Redux” returns Gabriel to his origins in Rogers Park, where he must reconcile a long life of difficult choices.
