Today we made a formal announcement of our existence on social media! Here’s a copy for posterity sake, so people can see here as well.
Welcome to Duck Prints Press, an independent publisher founded to help fanfiction authors navigate the complex process of bringing their original works from first draft to print, culminating in publishing their work under our imprint!
Duck Prints Press is brand new – we incorporated in January, 2021 – so we have a lot of groundwork to do before we can realize our founding vision! This year, we will focus on publishing one or two short story anthologies and developing relationships with writers who may wish to work with us going forward. We are excited to bring to readers to original stories that come with all the comforts of a fanfic – but with all new characters and settings to love!
Who we are:
Hi, we’re @unforth (Claire Houck), @jhoomwrites (A.L. Heard), @adaille, and @formidablepassion! Between us, we have written well over 5 million words of fanfiction and original fiction, participated in multiple anthologies of original stories and fanfic zines, self-published two novels, opened two businesses, and worked in several different writing- and editing-related fields. We are thrilled to bring this expertise to bear to make Duck Prints Press a success.
Hey, I’m a fanfic author and reader, and I think this sounds awesome! How can I learn more?
Follow us on…
(note that we’re still getting all the pieces up and running, so bear with us!)
How can I help?
Our Patreon opens officially in THREE DAYS, and we’ll be launching a merch store on Redbubble as well! Until then, you can help by…
- Signal boosting our posts (like this one)!
- Buying us a ko-fi!
…and keeping your eyes peeled for the Patreon announcement, coming on February 15th!
Will you publish my story?
Sorry, we don’t yet have the capacity to accept unsolicited story submissions. If you’re interested in working with us, follow us on social media and keep your eyes open for the announcement of our first anthology. We’ll begin taking applicants on March 15th, 2021, and anticipate selecting 20 writers for our debut collection!
Until then – thanks for your interest, your follows, your signal boosts, and your backing. We look forward to getting to know you all better as Duck Prints Press grows!
