Honeysuckle Press is an independent press committed to forging & fortifying literary avenues that prioritize the narratives of unsung communities.

 

Honeysuckle Press is an independent publisher based in New York City. We publish poetry, fiction, memoir, and anything in between and beyond. We host the annual Honeysuckle Chapbook Contest. We are a sister organization of Winter Tangerine. We have published three prose chapbooks and three poetry chapbooks; you can read excerpts & order them here.

At Honeysuckle Press, we are exploring new ways of navigating and contributing to contemporary literary dialogue. We offer digital internships to eager and motivated lovers of contemporary literature. Interns are active members of the Honeysuckle Press team, contributing directly to the work we do to celebrate boundary-defying literature from voices unsung. We generally offer internships in editorial work, social media, and marketing; internships are currently unpaid and remote.
