Our Commitment

…To Independent Publishing

Fourth Horseman Press believes that independent publishing is something extraordinary. As an independent press, we can take risks, amplify unique voices, and publish provocative literature that challenges readers rather than conforming to expectations. Our independence allows us to prioritize art and incisive analysis over trends.

…To the Arts

Literature is a vital to our culture, be it fiction or non-fiction. We are committed to supporting the arts and humanities by collaborating with artists across disciplines. We know that when artists inspire each other, they’re able to push past their boundaries. We also believe that art and literature are inherently human and we adamantly oppose the use of so-called artificial intelligence in publishing and design.

…To Our Authors

We view our relationship with each of our authors as a partnership. This means fair contracts, open communication, and ongoing support that extends beyond publication. We're committed to providing writers with the editorial guidance and support they need and to maintain long-term relationships.

…To Diversity, Equity, and Belonging

Great literature is born from diverse perspectives. We're committed to creating an inclusive environment for all of our authors and to championing the work of marginalized and underrepresented voices. We believe that challenging conventional narratives means embracing the full spectrum of the human experience.
