Based in Grand Haven, MI, home of the Third Coast Festival
A New Breed of Publisher
We are a literary community, dedicated to the full cycle of writing: finding talent, nurturing it, and giving it a platform to shine at our Third Coast Festival in March. Our manuscript submission fees are used 100% to pay our dedicated team of readers, editors, and other admin. Our retreat profits fund the selection, production, and promotion of our Book of the Year. Our retreats also serve as development for emerging writers as well as writers looking to deepen their craft. In some cases, the retreats will serve as a "scouting ground" for new talent. And to find your community. Here, in the writing world, I promise, finding your people matters.
Mission
Our retreats develop writers. Our manuscript selection process identifies those ready for publication. The Third Coast Festival provides the audience and visibility needed to launch a career.
Vision
To become a year-round literary destination for authors and readers.
