About the Magazine
Founded in 2018 | United States
Gasher Press is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit publisher founded by Whitney Koo in 2018. We are interested in fresh voices and innovative forms. Gasher is made up of a volunteer staff so that we can focus our resources on writers. All profits from book sales and submission fees are reinvested in opportunities and prizes. We champion our authors with gracious royalties, no preorder minimums, collaborative book design, and meaningful editing. We work to create opportunities in editing, publishing, and awards for underrepresented writers and editors. We welcome feedback on how we are doing and how we can improve. Our prizes are always free to submit. We are micro. Meaning we are small but mighty. We can't offer tour stipends and we don't have a hired marketing person, but we work diligently to submit our books for prizes, attend book fairs, organize reading tours, and find review platforms. Our books are never sold on Amazon. We have recently begun a partnership with SPD, and we can be found in several independent bookstores.
