Cicada Song Press

Press on hiatus, due to illness

Sorry, folks. My health has taken a dip. (I am Johanna, the publisher.) I am having to pull back from the press to focus on my health for a while. How long? Probably a year or two. Until I’m back in form and function. If you need to reach me, I’m still reading mail at johannaATcicadasongpressDOTcom or johannamhaasATgmailDOTcom.

Until then, all submissions are closed. You and I would both not want to have your work hanging in limbo for an uncertain time. Look here, and on social media and submissions aggregators, and when I’m back up and running, you will see a fresh call for submissions.

New writers Small pieces

We founded Cicada Song Press because we believe in new writers. We believe in writers who don’t have the money to pay for self publishing, or to enter the ongoing contests. When all that feels mean and impersonal, we believe in family. Our team of editors work with you to better your piece. We’ll find cover art and work with you on publicity - just like a big publisher - but we’re small.

We do this by allowing more writers chances to see their small pieces published. We publish collections of poems, short stories, flash fiction, micro-fiction and other small forms. We look forward to publishing novellas and pairs or triads of novelettes. We believe in writing that crosses genres and just becomes fun. Learn more

We were founded in May 2024.
