ABOUT THE PRESS
Gloria Mindock - Founder, Editor & Publisher
Gloria Mindock - Founder, Editor & Publisher
ČERVENÁ BARVA PRESS was founded in April of 2005. The press solicits poetry, fiction, and translations from various writers around the world, and holds open contests regularly for its chapbooks, postcards, broadsides and full-length books. I look for work that has a strong voice, is unique, and that takes risks with language. Please see submission guidelines for current information.
