Erin Cecilia Thomas's forthcoming story collection, I WATCHED YOU FROM THE OCEAN FLOOR. Out on July 1, 2025. Available for pre-order. Erin Cecilia Thomas writes elegiac narratives that are also portraits of strength, resilience, and grit -- exploring what it means to grieve and to keep on living.

Z. Hanna's forthcoming story collection, WE'RE GONNA GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER. Available for pre-order. Blending satire, realism, and speculative fiction, Z. Hanna writes about race, class, gender, sexuality, art, and activism--exploring the forces that bring people together and drive them apart.

Modern Artist Press is thrilled to be publishing Z. Hanna's debut story collection, WE'RE GONNA GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER, in spring 2025!

Why should you publish with a new indie press? Indie presses are known for having smaller budgets and taking bigger risks. Modern Artist Press is building our first frontlist. This means I can offer each author who publishes with us more consideration, time, and resources for their creative ideas.

Submit your work! Modern Artist Press is looking for novels, short story collections, and hybrid works of literary fiction
