Dear Reader,

August marks some transitions for us, as two of our co-founders begin PhD programs in prose and poetry respectively. We’re excited to infuse this organization with the passion and knowledge we gain from these programs, and to share our work with new communities. We wish all our readers and writers embarking on new academic ventures this year!

Also, we’re proud to celebrate our one year anniversary as an LLC this month. Time has flown, and we’re so pleased with all we were able to accomplish this first year as a press. We plan to continue that momentum into our second year, bringing you more books and journal issues to enjoy!

And finally, welcome to our newest reader, Sofia Grady! She is joining the team as a prose reader. We’re also honored to have previously published her work in Issue 1 of The Core Review. We encourage you all to check out her piece, Inheritance, if you haven’t had a chance to read it yet!

Wishing you all a lovely final summer month.

Sincerely,
Fork Apple Press

We’re currently in search of a volunteer poetry reader to join our team! We’re looking for someone with a high level of experience reading for literary journals and/or contests, who is familiar with Submittable and the Fork Apple Mission.

Apply by sending a CV or resume to forkapplepress@gmail.com

Although it’s not required, we encourage applicants to include a brief cover letter about what has draws them to our press, and why they would like to read for us.

Open for submissions year-round

We accept craft-oriented writing such as book reviews, interviews, literacy narratives, and more.
