Based in Frankfort, Kentucky, Broadstone Books is an independent book publisher that specializes in poetry. Founded in 2002, this publisher also publishes other genres of writing as well.
The editors say, "We consider Broadstone Books to be not simply a press, but a community of authors and readers who support one another’s work, and we are protective of that community."
What They're Looking For
Broadstone Books specializes in poetry, but they do consider other subjects. That said, they do not tend to accept work in the following genres: children's literature, self-help, religion and spirituality, erotica, or technical/professional subject matter.
The editors say, "Broadstone Books is always looking for exciting new writers to add to our roster. We're especially keen to read work by BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and young authors, and are very open to first book proposals. We need to hear new voices!"
