FATHOMBOOKS

FATHOM is an occasional literary press. We are interested in Neo-Gnostic texts and ephemera. The OG, SHARKPACK Poetry Review, was our critical imprint; it's now an archive we love.

Neo-Gnostic texts are fit to meet—or be—the Gorgon. As Antigone to Ismene: Your wisdom appealed to one world—mine, another. As Ishamael Reed: i left some curses in d cash / box so youll know its me. Most of what counts as contemporary letters is anathema to us.

Genre is a marker of convenience and cannot define our interest in text that is frightfully alive.

When they rise, submission calls are listed here.

Joseph Spece is founder & editor-in-chief, overseeing every step of publication. Eric Westerlind is chief of book design and web.

We will publish three titles in 2025.
