About Glacehouse Books

Glacehouse Books is a visionary small independent publisher based in Portland, Oregon. Founded, owned, and operated by a passionate Black femme baddie, our publishing press is dedicated to amplifying the voices of underrepresented communities in the realms of poetry, prose, and children's literature.

With a deep commitment to inclusivity, accessibility,  and diversity, Glacehouse Books serves as a creative platform for marginalized authors, fostering a literary landscape that celebrates the richness and complexity of human experiences. We firmly believe that literature has the power to inspire, challenge, and transform lives, and we strive to create a space where underrepresented voices can flourish and be heard.

Our mission is to showcase works that reflect a myriad of perspectives, cultures, and identities, shining a spotlight on narratives that have often been overlooked or dismissed by mainstream publishing. We actively seek out talented writers who offer unique and compelling insights into their communities, histories, and personal journeys. By publishing their works, we aim to foster understanding, empathy, and dialogue among readers from diverse backgrounds. Glacehouse Books seeks to create a dreamy space where creativity thrives, that fosters a sense of community and inspiration among makers. Through our publications we aim to provoke thoughtful reflection and engage readers with diverse perspectives.

At Glacehouse Books, we accept a wide range of literary genres, including poetry, prose, and zines. If you make something else, and are looking for a publisher let's talk! 

We also believe that literature is a powerful tool for young minds, and we are dedicated to offering children and young adults access to stories that reflect their own experiences and help them navigate the world with a sense of belonging and empowerment. So, if you craft children's books link up!
