At the Threshold

We begin where wild edges meet the page.

Yawning Fox Press follows the quiet paths where primal forces menace the edges of civilization and something astonishing stirs at the edges of sight.

We publish carefully. With soul. And a long view.

We create books, essays, folios, and chapbooks in digital and print media.

We’re seeking writers whose voices are rooted, resonant, and a little unruly — especially those channeling the more-than-human world or recovering lost ways of knowing.
