This is your reminder that backlist books don’t “age out.” They outlast. The right book doesn’t expire when the feed moves on. It keeps working on your language, your nervous system, your courage, your ability to name what’s true. Backlist isn’t the past. It’s the foundation.

My awesome publisher being awesome
Books do not appear in isolation. They arrive carrying echoes: of earlier risks taken, questions first asked years ago, and truths the press has been circling all along. At Unsolicited Press, new titles often feel less like departures and more like evolution.

Buy three books. Get $10 off. Support writers who give a fuck about craft, not virality. Read work that doesn’t ask permission, soften its voice, or explain itself to men.

This is independent literature made outside the patriarchal

The kind of book that proves short fiction doesn’t mean small fiction. Swerving Sizes drops March 17, 2026: 100, 200, and 300-word stories that hit harder than novels ten times their length. Clean. Sharp. No filler. No mercy.
