Hollow Bone Press is an independent publishing imprint built by marketers who read.
We’re not a legacy house chasing quarterly numbers, and we’re not a vanity outfit chasing a byline. We’re readers who know a good story, and marketers who know how to launch it.
The name comes from what birds are built on: bones light enough to fly, strong enough to hold weight. That’s the standard for what we publish. Stories light enough to carry. Strong enough to stay.
We publish fiction that stays with you.
Hollow Bone Press exists for stories that are too human to ignore and too honest to look away from.
We believe in creativity without apology. Depth without pretension. Humanity without softening the edges.
Contemporary fiction. Mystery. Speculative. Romance with weight.
Stories that make you feel something you didn’t have a word for before you read them.
We will be open to submissions in 2027.
