Mubu Publishing

Independent Press · Austin, Texas

Mubu Publishing is an independent press based in Austin, Texas. We publish fiction that moves at the speed of thought — books that sit with you after the last page, that ask questions without rushing toward answers. We believe the best stories don’t explain the world. They make you notice it differently.

Submissions

Mubu Publishing is a small press, and we are selective about what we take on. We are currently closed to unsolicited manuscripts.

If you believe your work is a strong fit for our catalog — literary fiction that is precise, unhurried, and willing to leave something unresolved — you are welcome to send a brief query and the first ten pages to hello@mubupublishing.com. We read everything, though we cannot always respond.
