Submission Guidelines
Wyrd & Word Press publishes the High Strange: books, rituals, and interventions that challenge form, unsettle certainty, and open new possibilities for thought and practice.
Rooted in the Old English wyrd — fate, chance, becoming — we seek works that teach us something we cannot unlearn and reveal something that cannot be unseen.
Learn more about our series below. When you are ready to submit, please email a brief cover letter indicating the series you are interested in, along with a proposal and sample chapter, to info@wyrdandword.com.
