Gold Wake Press is an independent literary house founded in the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts in 2008 by Jared Michael Wahlgren, who ran the press until 2014. Co-Executive Editors, Kyle McCord and Paul Brooke, are based in Iowa; the press seeks to bring original voices to the spotlight who combine daring content with meticulous attention to craft. Gold Wake Press publishes roughly 4-6 titles per year which are for sale at online vendors and in bookstores.
Gold Wake Press authors have been featured at the Best American Poetry blog, Poetry Daily, Verse Daily, Harriet: the blog of the Poetry Foundation, The Banyan Review, and many popular literary websites such as The Rumpus and HTML Giant. Many Gold Wake Press titles are taught in university-level creative writing and literature classes, and books can be ordered in bulk through Ingram Book Group, Small Press Distribution, or via contacting the press itself.
Gold Wake Press paperbacks are available for purchase here or through our Submittable page, and are also available online at Amazon.com, BN.com and Powell’s Books. Selected titles are available through Small Press Distribution through Ingram.
