GIVING TUESDAY: Keep Small Press Literature Alive

Today isn’t about giant nonprofits with a whole PR department.
It’s about the tiny, stubborn presses doing the slow, unglamorous work that keeps literature human.

Unsolicited Press is one of them.

We publish books that don’t fit trends, algorithms, or corporate spreadsheets. Books written by emerging, marginalized, genre-bending, rule-breaking writers who deserve a damn platform. We do it with a tiny team, thin margins, and a whole lot of grit.

If our books have ever moved you, inspired you, challenged you, or reminded you that art still matters — today is the day to help keep this work going.

How to Support Us Today

  • Buy a book from Bookshop or directly from our site

  • Gift a book to a friend or teacher

  • Make a small donation — even $5 keeps the lights on

  • Share this post and tell people why small presses matter

  • Forward to a writer or reader who believes in indie publishing

Every single dollar today goes straight to:

  • Paying our authors

  • Keeping books in print

  • Cover design + editing costs

  • Paying the small team (hi, it’s us) who make these books possible

Small presses survive because communities decide they should.

If you believe in independent literature, help us prove that people still want the weird, the beautiful, the experimental, the fiercely human.

Thank you for keeping us alive another year.
We literally could not do this without you.
