Our Mission
Lemon Shark Press is dedicated to discovering powerful new voices in America and abroad. While the big publishing houses in New York cater to the mainstream and mine the literary landscape for quick money via bestsellers, we are inspired to find marginalized writers whose work will survive for centuries to come.
