Reflex Press launched in December 2018 as a spin-off from the Reflex flash fiction competition. After two years of running the competition and reading over three thousand pieces of flash fiction from over one thousand authors, they came to an inevitable conclusion: there is a lot of outstanding fiction being written, most of it by unpublished authors, most of whom are destined to remain unpublished.
That’s a situation they want to change. As a small, independent press, they are able to take risks on the forms largely ignored by mainstream publishing: flash fiction, short stories, and novella-length fiction. They’re also not afraid of writing that is challenging, unusual, or just plain weird.
If you’re a writer ready to publish your first book, or if you’ve dipped your toe into the flood of self-publishing and are looking for a traditional publisher for your next book, Reflex Press could be the publisher for you. Visit the submissions page for more details.
