Consultation and Reviews
How do I get started?What makes you different?The AF.FEM Difference: We bridge the gap between soulful storytelling and professional design. By combining creative consultation with small-batch publishing, we ensure marginalized voices are handled with the care and craft they deserve.
What are we looking for?Authentic Truths: Voices that are unafraid to explore the raw, "profoundly human" depths of their lived experience.
Intersectional Perspectives: Stories and art rooted in the layers of Black and Brown womanhood and marginalized identities.
Tender & Fierce Energy: Creators who embrace both vulnerability and strength in their craft.
Community Mindset: Writers and artists who seek connection, illumination, and a sanctuary to grow.
Do you attain the rights to your work?Absolutely. We believe in the autonomy of our creators. While we hold the rights to publish and distribute your work within our specific project (like Woven Branches or a specific print run), the intellectual property remains yours. We are here to amplify your voice, not own it
Can you submit if you've never been published?Yes. We prioritize authenticity and "tender, fierce truths" over a long resume. Whether you are an established creator or sharing your work for the first time, AF.FEM Press is a sanctuary for voices at every stage of their literary journey. If the heart of the story is there, we want to see it
