Milkweed Editions

Milkweed Editions, founded in Minnesota 1979, is one of the leading independent, nonprofit, literary presses in the nation. We publish outstanding new fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and children’s books by writers from across the country and across the globe. We publish in the belief that literature is a transformative art uniquely able to convey the essential experiences of the human heart and spirit.

Our books are available from bookstores and libraries across the United States and Canada and online, including via our web site.

Milkweed relies on sales of our books and the support of generous individuals and foundations to fulfill our mission. We are active in the community through our home in Open Book, our Alliance for Reading program in schools, and our highly regarded internship program. We have an open submission program for manuscripts. Please read the submission guidelines on our web site.

Happy reading!
