Publisher’s description: Bateau subscribes to no trend but serves to represent as wide a cross-section of contemporary writing as possible. For this reason, readers will most likely love and hate at least something in each issue. We consider this a good thing. To us, it means Bateau is eclectic, open-ended and not mired in a particular strain.

Our standard is excellence. Work in Bateau succeeds because of its individual strengths and ability to move a wide-ranging readership. Craftsmanship and quality are delivered through the contents and its package, reflected in our letterpressed covers. Each issue works out of a mutual gifting and strives to be a kind of art piece.

Bateau Press is also the publisher for its annual Boom Chapbook Contest. See our website for details

Bateau Press uses only 100% post consumer waste recycled paper and soy inks for its publications. Our publications as well are Forest Stewardship Council certified. Our office is run on the renewable energies of hydro and wind power. We use local businesses for our outsourcing. And we highly recommend sending us your submissions electronically.
