An independent press

Stories that don't stay on one side of the map.

Agloe Publishing exists for books that don't sit still in one genre — literary fiction beside speculative fiction, poetry beside memoir. We publish the manuscript, not the category it's supposed to fit.

What we publish

No single shelf holds our list.

We acquire on voice and craft first — genre is just where the book happens to land.
