Our Books
About the Press
We treat debut authors the way we wished we’d been treated.
7.13 Books is an independent literary press founded by authors, for authors. We publish novels and short story collections in literary fiction — work that challenges convention and champions new voices.
Open for Submissions
We’re looking for fearless literary fiction.
Novels and collections, 45,000–90,000 words. We seek comedies, formal experiments, genre-bending work, and stories that explore the margins.
