ABOUT

Who We Are

A collectively run literary house for writers too often pushed to the margins, and the people, principles, and promises that hold it together.

OUR MISSION

Three promises, held in active practice

Publish and circulate work from writers who are usually pushed to the margins.


Give authors real say in what gets published and how people are treated.


Build a staff backbone and governing structure that keep the whole system functional, accountable, and sustainable.



OUR VISION

The principles we move by

Stewardship over extraction

Nomadic exists to help bring work into the world and keep it alive.

Clarity over jargon

Policies are written in plain, understandable language rather than legal or institutional jargon.

Collective voice

Authors have meaningful influence over editorial direction, culture, and key policy.

Transparency over opacity

The collective should know how decisions, timelines, and money flow.

Care with accountability

Conflict is addressed directly and fairly, with a bias toward repair.

Living structure

This house can and should change as the press grows and learns.
