To celebrate Dandelion Revolution Press’s fifth anniversary, we’re running the essay series “In Her Words: Celebrating Women in Literature” throughout 2025. We’re seeking personal essays recognizing women authors and/or characters that have impacted your life.

Kicking off this series is Ashini J. Desai with this personal essay about Amy Tan, who not only introduced her to the vibrant world of Asian American literature but also helped pave the way for others. Enjoy!

Posted a haunting new creative nonfiction piece from Anna Cabreros. This was our only nonfiction piece featured in Cocoon—it is the perfect example of how powerful our words can be, both in the moment and when processing afterwards, and our team knew we needed to publish it. We hope you’ll check it out and let us know your thoughts!

Please take note of the trigger warning as this piece touches on sensitive topics that may be upsetting for some readers.

New logo alert ✨

We recently celebrated 5 YEARS since we released our first anthology, Not Quite As You Were Told, featuring a collection of stories about women acting outside of society’s standards, or in other words, “not quite as they were told.”

The literary world can be a frustrating place for writers, with captivating stories often being rejected or drastically altered. Determined to change this, our team founded DRP, and launched our first anthology to give writers like us a chance to express their creativity through writing!

5 years and 3 anthologies later, we feel like we’re just getting started. In 2024, we published two online journals. We wanted a new logo to reflect this new direction of publishing online journals and publishing individual pieces on SubStack.

We hope you’ll consider submitting to us! https://dandelionrevolutionpress.substack.com/p/2025-calls-for-submissions
