Submissions Opening 2026
Human Perimeter Press was founded on the belief that readers are hungry for fiction that respects their intelligence. Stories with complexity. Mysteries that require attention. Worlds that feel lived-in because they are.
We're not trying to publish hundreds of books. We're building series that compound—where each book deepens your understanding of what came before. Where rereading reveals new layers. Where the mythology is earned, not explained.
Based in Hamilton, Ohio, we serve readers everywhere who believe good fiction should challenge you, surprise you, and stay with you long after the last page.
