Stillhouse Press is an independent book publisher based in Northern Virginia. We publish fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and anything else that couldn’t find a home in big publishing. We are drawn to the strange, the transcendent, and the risky. We are looking for work that pushes the boundaries of narrative, of the lyric, or just boundaries in general.
As a student and alumni-led teaching press, our primary aim is to provide educational opportunity through applied experience in the art of craft publishing — the act of soliciting, acquiring, producing, and marketing work from independent authors — in an effort to forge lasting relationships and foster the growth of the greater literary community.
Staffed entirely by students and alumni of George Mason University’s MFA, MA, BFA, and BA programs in creative writing and publishing
in coordination with Watershed Lit. To learn more about our mission and our student staff, click here.
