Mission Statement
In 2018, Host Publications shifted its focus from international authors to authors based in the United States, and committed to creating a seat at the table for marginalized groups: primarily women, people of color, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ writers.
This initiative began with publishing Death to the Bullshit Artists of South Texas by Fernando Flores and the I Scream Social Anthology. In 2019, we continued our mission with the announcement of the Host Publications Chapbook Prize, which awards women writers with publication, $1000, 25 copies of the published chapbook, a book launch at Malvern Books, and national distribution with energetic publicity and promotion by our dedicated staff.
