Fork Apple Press is a small independent literary press publishing work that expands beyond a core, essentialized “truth” to challenge a monolithic point of view.

Fork Apple Press was founded out of a vision of sustainability, cross-pollination, and hybridization. 

We trace our roots through a legacy of small presses and literary magazines, and offer opportunities for new and established writers keen to expand and grow their work to reach unexpected places and deliver unfamiliar textures. 

We celebrate the diversity of the artistic community, and welcome a challenge.
