Get Fresh Books Publishing
Get Fresh Books Publishing is a non-profit, cooperative press devoted to amplifying diverse voices in poetry and making the publication process accessible to marginalized communities. Our primary objective is to provide opportunities for underrepresented voices by eliminating economic and societal barriers, such as submission fees and contests, which may inhibit marginalized voices from contributing to the literary conversation. As a cooperative press, we encourage manuscript submissions from BIPOC, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities and people living with mental illnesses. By doing so, we explicitly reject any “ism” or phobia which seeks to suppress the voices of those who receive insufficient or inadequate representation in literature. In the four short years of our founding, we have been able to preserve our commitment to diversity and inclusivity by publishing the work of 12 talented and distinct poets, whose poetry cover a wide range of topics from ethnicity, sexuality and religion to immigration, suicide and discrimination. Our press’s cooperative process of integrating the ideas and skills of our poets, editors and publisher have given us the ability to bring fresh and diverse voices into the literary world. With the help of donations, grants and private investments, we have been able to publish each literary work without charging a single submission fee to ensure that poets and writers of all ages, ethnicities, sexual orientations, abilities, and economic statuses would have their voices heard.

Personal & social issues: self-awareness & self-esteem (Children's/YA)2020Timid Rabbit
by Heinz Janisch, Helga Bansch
Geese, donkeys, rabbits ... many animals have to serve to attribute negative characteristics to people. The rabbits have decided that this has to change. In the international rabbits’ headquarter a plenary assembly takes place. The rabbits no longer want to accept that children are called timid rabbits. This is due to a completely wrong assessment of the extraordinary abilities of rabbits: rabbits are clever, sensitive and brave. And they are quick, but not out of fear, but because they are courageous. After this has finally been stated openly, the next step comes almost automatically: Children with characteristics similar to those of rabbits are to be awarded the honorary title "Brave Rabbit" from now on.

General fiction (Children's/YA)2017Ayelen and the Magic Fruits
by Karina Cocq
"Once upon a time, there was a very curious and intelligent little girl named Ayelén. She loved animals but had never seen one because she was too scared to leave the house..." An entertaining book in which—besides accompanying Ayelén in her journey— children will be able to learn basic words in Mapudungún (Chile’s indigenous people language), together its translation, and find out about the native species of southern Chile. Ayelén and the Magic Fruits is a title built with a sensibility that is transferred when leafing through its pages and contemplating carefully the visual work: illustrations that were made in watercolor, graphite pencil and digital montage, forming a suggestive visual whole.
