Welcome to Blackmark

Mission:

Publishing what traditional publishers won’t.

Pillars:

Great writing

Skill sits at the center of what we do. Effortless to read and nearly impossible to execute, language written in the voice of an expert.

Revealing narrative

Fiction impacts because it reveals the reader to themselves.

Subverted expectation:

Unpredictable, understandable, intentional and concise - masterful writing begins at the beginning. And perhaps it does not have an end.

Community orientation:

Fundamentally, Blackmark is guided by a dream of establishing a more robust community for writers and readers in New York City.
