What We Are
BoT Press exists to publish work with a spine—and to keep it publishable even when outside pressure would rather it vanish. We welcome a wide range of stories and subjects across fiction and nonfiction, but we’re not neutral about first principles: BoT stands inside a pro-Western, pro-American frame that takes human dignity, free expression, and free enterprise seriously.
We don’t run ideological compliance checks, and we don’t let gatekeepers, mobs, or institutions decide what our authors are “allowed” to say. If your work is built on contempt for those foundations, there are plenty of other homes for it—BoT isn’t one.
Independence Has A Cost
We build for durability. We intend to remain publishable through cultural turbulence, institutional pressure, and platform whims—without trimming our mission to fit someone else’s sensibilities.
Fiction & Nonfiction
We publish across genres and forms. If the work is honest, well-made, and rooted in reality—whether literal or imagined—we’re interested.
- Fiction: speculative, historical, modern, adventure—anything with craft and consequence
- Nonfiction: essays, cultural commentary, history, personal reflections—clear thinking, clean prose
- What we won’t do: contempt-as-aesthetic, propaganda-by-megaphone, or work built to tear down the foundations we’re here to defend
BoT doesn’t require an author to agree with every line we’d write. We do require respect for the first principles we’re defending.
Invitation-Based Submissions
BoT Press is invite-only by design. We run targeted invitations for specific projects rather than open slush piles.
If you want to be considered for future mobilizations, use the Request an Invitation page to send a short note and a writing sample. If the fit is right, you’ll be added to our contributor pool and notified when new projects open.
