Jaded Ibis Press

Jaded Ibis Press We are a feminist press committed to publishing engaged literature emphasizing marginalized voices. We canโ€™t wait to read your work!

We are a feminist press committed to publishing socially engaged literature with an emphasis on the voices of people of color, people with disabilities, and other historically silenced and culturally marginalized voices. We are looking for writing with no holds barred: visceral, subtle, loud, honest, confounding prose that tackles a personal or universal truth and that makes us see the world aroun

d us more clearly or from a different perspective. Whether the manuscript deals with themes related to social justice, persecution, feminism, or reveals something about what itโ€™s like to struggle through this world, with all the related losses and triumphs and unanswered questions that entails, we want to read it! Our past publications explore these themes with an additional focus on intersectionality. We are open to nonfiction and fiction submissions, short stories, and long-form prose. Above all, we are interested in superb writing that allows readers to question their place in the world and the nature of humanity at large.

โœจ Debut novelist Chelsea Laine Wells delivers a raw and heartfelt coming-of-age story, with an impactful narrative driven by rebellion and personal growth. Themes of deteriorating family relationships, mental health, and addiction collide and shatter against each other, creating something of delicateย beauty in the process, much like the art of kintsugi.

โœจโ€How You Come Backย is a live wire of a novel, beautiful and sparking, keeping you emotionally on your toes. I fell in love with the characters, wounds and scabs and all, and would follow them to the end of the earth. Chelsea Laine Wells is, truly, a one-in-a-million talent.โ€
โ€”Illana Masad, author ofย All My Motherโ€™s Lovers
