About

Locked Horn Press is a multi-genre publisher founded upon the idea that any space in which conflict exists is an opportunity for discovery and conversation. We strive to publish creative and scholarly work that provokes, inspires, and sparks not only excellent writing, but dialogue about contemporary issues. Locked Horn publishes works that are designed to speak to one another. Interweaving the creative and the critical, these collections will provide space for writers and readers to engage the various and persistent conflicts that surround us. Even as each text will stand alone, our hope is that in presenting interacting texts, our projects can inspire further conversation about the state of contemporary literature and our world.
