Publications
Rock and a Hard Place Press is an independent publisher of literary noir, crime and dark fiction. It focuses on characters that are struggling in a world in which they may feel powerless. We’re interested in narratives about poverty, mental and physical health challengers, individuals challenged by expectations, racism, bias, prejudice, coming to terms with their own sexual or gender identities, cultural challenges — all of the above, and what these characters do next. The flagship publication of Rock and a Hard Place Press is Rock and a Hard Place Magazine, a literary noir journal that serves as “A Chronicle of Bad Decisions and Desperate People.”
