About Us
Twelfth Sign Press is a brand new independent zine & anthology press. Our aim is to promote new work by new writers.
We want to publish the weird and the wonderful, the thought provoking, and the unusual.
Currently, we are not a for-profit. ‘We’ is actually just one person who does everything from social media, to design, to printing. We do understand that in an increasingly expensive world, people deserve to be paid fairly for their work, and are looking into this for the future – it is our number one aim.
However, this is not traditional publishing – we focus on zines, and smaller work. Maybe one day we will be bigger, but for now that is our area. We currently mostly focus on queer work – and our first anthology, ALL OF OUR GHOSTS, is open to queer writers only.
This is also ON PAUSE for now … but stay tuned. TSP will rise again <3
Twelfth Sign Press is run by Emmy from stargazer. The idea is to eventually build the press to run stargazer, and a few other publications. For now, it is a side project – but I hope to expand in the future.
This depends on what you wish to submit. At the moment, we usually have (at maximum) two publications open.
Currently these are:
stargazer, issue 3
The themes for this issue are water, omens & nostalgia. We accept poems, short stories, art, multimedia projects, and honestly anything you can think of!
All Of Our Ghosts
A queer anthology on haunting and being haunted. Ghosts, memories, regrets, people, places, anything can haunt you if it tries hard enough. These submissions are short stories, up to 5000 words.
I’m a Pisces. It’s funny to me <3
