Alaska Literary Series, a black and white crane looks upwardsThe Alaska Literary Series publishes poetry, fiction, and literary nonfiction.  Successful manuscripts have a strong connection to Alaska or the circumpolar north, are written by people living in the far north, or both.  We prefer writing that makes the northern experience available to the world, and we choose manuscripts that offer compelling literary insights into the human condition.

All proposals for the this series should follow the press submission guidelines, and submission will be evaluated by the press acquisitions staff, the series editors and/or editorial board, as well as outside experts.
