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.

Fips doesn’t want to be a turtle anymore
by Simone Gruber, Jacqueline Kauer
Everybody wants to be different. But then you often notice that you feel most comfortable in your own skin. Fips is upset. Not because her name is Fips, although she is a girl. That can happen to anyone. She is angry because she is a turtle and always lies around. She would much rather jump around like a cuddly hare, be fast and agile like a fox or float through the air like a bird. “I don’t want to be me no more,” says Fips and looks around. And suddenly she has a great opportunity to slip into another role. But will Fips really be happy?
