Welcome to Blackmark
Welcome to Blackmark!
Founded in June of 2025, Blackmark Publishing entered New York’s literary community in order to publish the books we wanted to read.
Frankly, we’re tired of bad writing. As lovers of books our team looks to literary pillars such as Beauvoir, Morrison, Bulgakov, and Nabakov as inspiration. Authors who were brave by nature and expert in execution.
While we have a particular affinity for language, we believe great art confronts the audience, and so we do. not wish to be prescriptive in our call for submissions.
Instead, we leave it to our authors to lead the narrative while we handle the rest. Blackmark Publishing is an Independent Publisher that does not bend to fit brand. It is authentic, unapologetic, and reliant upon the community it is built to serve.
The only genre that we are not interested in is popular non-fiction (read, airport books i.e. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck). Our team hosts a vast appreciation for reading. If it’s good, we’ll like it.
With gratitude,
The Blackmark Team
