Essay Press

Founded in 2006 by Eula Biss, Stephen Cope, and Catherine Taylor, Essay Press publishes artful, innovative writing that questions convention and explores issues of significant contemporary relevance. EP publishes essays that extend or challenge the formal protocols of nonfiction, including, but not limited to: lyric essays and prose poems or poetics; experimental biography and autobiography; innovative approaches to journalism, experimental historiography, criticism, scholarship, and philosophy. EP considers the essay as a form to be rooted in its etymological origins: as a trying, as an attempt, as a process.
