Thank you for your interest in Rebel Mountain Press. Please be aware that we only publish Canadian authors.
We are currently seeking: 

• ​Indigenous-themed manuscripts by Indigenous authors (any genre: poetry, fiction, non-fiction, children's, YA, etc)
• children's middle grade, and young adult literature featuring characters who are Indigenous or BIPOC, LGBTQ2+, and/or belongs to other marginalized groups. Stories with strong empowered female leads are especially encouraged, as are themes that explore social justice and awareness, equality, diversity, human and animal rights. High adventure stories are also accepted, as are those for reluctant readers.
•  submissions with themes of gender identity (ie: transgender, gender neutral, non-binary, agender, pangender, genderqueer, two-spirit, third gender, etc.) in children's picture books, middle grade, and young adult formats.
• we may also consider manuscripts for adult readers: fiction, creative-nonfiction, and poetry, particularly that which illuminates the lives of diverse cultures (BIPOC) and/or is LGBTQ2IA+ themed, and written by authors who identify as such.
