Slant is an indie non-profit press specializing in fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, & philosophy

Gregory Wolfe, the founder and editor of the quarterly journal Image, has launched a new literary imprint with Wipf and Stock Publishers called Slant. According to Wolfe, the focus of Slant will be fiction “that explores the mysteries of the human heart, fiction that understands that the truth of the human condition can only be approached indirectly, through metaphor and character.” He continues:

“The novels published under this imprint will be marked by the kind of meticulous craft and love for language that are harder and harder to come by in our age of instant publishing and literary gimmickry. These are books that will lodge themselves in readers’ lives.”

Five new fiction titles are slated for release this fall and next year, but Slant will not be reviewing or selecting any unsolicited manuscripts at this time. For more information and to sign up for the Slant newsletter, please visit www.slantbooks.com
