New Pulp Press was founded in 2008 as an alternative to the often generic world of conglomerate corporate publishing. Dedicated to giving voice to some of today’s most talented and neglected writers, New Pulp Press focuses on off-center crime fiction and neo-pulp. Veering away from the assumption that a protagonist must be a sympathetic character, our books are centered around con-men, losers, and sociopaths. In other words, we represent what's best about America.
Here you won't find any saccharine coming-of-age novels or self-help books. You will find raw and desperate tales about men and women on the wrong side of the law, tales drenched with nihilism and loathing.
Read our books. Pass them on to friends. Give us feedback. We're not a big press, but we're plenty scrappy.

Thanks for finding me. I look forward to learning more about you and your publishing company. As an author, I am always trolling for new work and opportunities. I hope our paths cross often.

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
I mainly write crime and comedy; sometimes a mixture of both.
I might have something close to your guidelines that you may be interested in in the future- a lot of my writing tends to be slightly off-beat, which means that the traditional publishers don't seem to understand what I'm getting at. (Sometimes I don't understand what I'm getting at...)
Nice to meet you, New Pulp. I might have a book for you to read in the near future. I'm not nearly as efficient as Carole Gill, though - who wrote to you tomorrow.
Thanks for taking me on as a friend. My book, Savage Days Haunted Night, is certainly about crime and in some sections as brutal and realistic as it gets. But there's also more to it. The blend, I hope, make it vintage.
Thanks for friending me a few weeks ago. I will be sure to keep you in mind when my manuscript is finished in a few months. You sound like the type of press I would like to work with.
Hello!
Real quick: I really dig what I see here. I write about lost dogs and losers myself, having been one... My novel, Red Christmas, goes this way: three guys rob a dopehouse in northend Seattle on Christmas.Three people are killed, includng a little old lady who was just walking by on the sidewalk. The town is on fire for these guys. They fall out bigtime, and terror, treachery, and murder ensue as they lam for the border with cops hot on their ass.
I'll whip up a query letter to send with the first three chapters as per instructions, as soon as my computer friend helps me figure out how to detach those chapters from the rest of the book.
Hope to talk with you soon, and thanks for giving me your consideration.
