~ Supporting poets who are generously supporting others ~
Launching with our very first archetypal author in 2027, SIPS Press has an express mission of amplifying the voices of service-oriented poets from around the world. SIPS Press will aim to publish no more than three titles per year, exclusively publishing poets who are contributing their time and resources to help others 'shine' (through community activism, literary advocacy, church leadership, etc.). If you're a poet with a passion for helping others, SIPS Press might be the publisher for you!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST. SUBMISSIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED. PLEASE COME BACK SOON.
