Undiscovered Countries Press produces illustrated fiction and poetry. We pair emerging visual
artists and writers in collaboration on short
pieces - each creating a new work in response
to a piece of the other's.
These get published as program inserts
in our bimonthly Festival Programs, and
then compiled in the September Yearbook,
published in coordination with our
anniversary show.
We are currently accepting submissions
for the 2016 - 2017 yearbook! To have your
writing illustrated or your drawings written to,
email us at undiscoveredcountriesfestival@gmail.com
