What is Fourth Horseman Press?

Fourth Horseman Press is an independent publisher committed to producing literary provocations that offer fresh, bold perspectives. Independence empowers us to take creative risks and publish works that challenge conventions without compromise. It allows us to maintain editorial freedom and uphold our commitment to quality and innovation.

What Genres do you publish?

We curate a catalog that delivers original literature unmatched in the mainstream marketplace, focusing on titles that push boundaries and challenge conventional narratives. We specialize in books of genre-blurring slipstream fiction, volumes of insightful cultural critique, and critical editions of the classics.

How do you choose the authors and titles that you publish?

We seek out exceptional authors with unique voices. We’re also passionate about nurturing new talent. Our selection is driven by a commitment to originality, diversity, and a desire to introduce readers to work they won’t find anywhere else.

How can I submit a manuscript for consideration?

We accept submissions only during announced reading periods. We do not accept unsolicited manuscripts. Check our website or social media for openings. We welcome submissions from authors worldwide, provided the manuscript is in English. Please consult posted submission guidelines for specific requirements.

Are there any fees associated with submissions or publishing?

Fourth Horseman Press will never charge submission or publishing fees. We operate on a traditional contract basis.

Where can I purchase your books?

Our books are available through major online booksellers. Our website provides convenient links to ordering options. Our preferred online storefront is Lulu Press, where purchases provide the greatest support for us, our authors, and our ongoing efforts.

Do you have a podcast?

The Fourth Horseman Press podcast features host Adam Chamberlain in conversation with our authors about their books, the creative process, and the big ideas that inspire their work. It's a chance to delve deeper into the minds behind our literary provocations and explore themes that matter to contemporary writers.
