Blanket Sea Press was launched in 2020. We provide a devoted publishing space for chronically ill, neurodivergent, and disabled creators. Our mission is to promote awareness, empathy, and action around disability rights and advocacy. We publish chapbooks and microchapbooks of poetry and creative nonfiction. Every eBook has pay what you want/donation-based pricing and includes an audiobook version for accessibility.

We do not publish work that promotes ableism, inspiration porn, or toxic positivity. All of our press editors have lived experience of disability. Authors are paid royalties. Subscribe to our email list for updates on submission calls and upcoming releases. Download the complete 2021 Awareness & Advocacy microchapbook series here.
