Our Values
The Juxtaposed Tides Philosophy
Juxtaposed Tides Publishing Co. was born at the intersection of coast and mountain, art and labor, solitude and signal.
We believe:
-
Creativity isn’t a commodity
-
Publishing should honor the creator
-
Deep stories and outsider voices deserve better stages
-
Bold, slow, and intentional works outlast algorithm-chasers
That’s why we keep it small, weird, and clear-eyed.
You bring the work. We bring the platform.
Our Publishing Agreements
What If We Say Yes?
If we want to explore publishing your work, we’ll follow up to schedule a conversation. From there:
-
We discuss vision, timing, and publishing format (book, zine, journal)
-
You’ll receive a plain-language contract that protects your rights
-
You retain your copyright—we license the right to publish, market, and distribute for a set time
We often work on shared-revenue publishing terms, meaning we split profits fairly after print and production costs.
How We Select Work
"We don’t publish to fill slots. We publish to make waves and move mountains!"
We’re Not Chasing Trends
We seek out bold, off-center, or necessary voices—often the ones that don’t get picked up elsewhere.
That includes:
Genre-bending projects, deep-rooted creatives, working-class voices, custom zine culture, spiritual hybrids, and books that walk the fine line between art and impact.
Our team evaluates based on:
-
Vision
-
Voice
-
Fit with imprint
-
How the work contributes to culture
We’re not a volume publisher. We’re curators of meaningful work.
What Happens After You Reach Out?
When you share a project with us—either through our “Get on Our Radar” form or formal submission—it enters a confidential review queue.
We review each entry carefully. Sometimes that means a quick note of encouragement. Other times it may lead to a deeper dialogue about fit, scope, or next steps.
We never share or repurpose your work. And you’ll always hear from a real human if we want to talk further.
How We Work With Creators
Our Process, Up Front.
We believe in transparency. Here’s what happens when you share work with us—and how we approach publishing partnerships with care, curiosity, and respect.
