Omnidawn Publishing Information

Just as our name suggests—“omni” (in all ways and places) and “dawn” (the first appearance of light)—we publish writing that opens us anew to the myriad ways that language may bring new light, new awareness to us. We began Omnidawn in 2001 because of our belief that lively, culturally pertinent, emotionally and intellectually engaging literature can be of great value, and we wanted to participate in the dissemination of such work. We believe that our society needs small presses so that widely diverse ideas and points-of-view are easily accessible to everyone. Italo Calvino: “… the function of literature is communication between things that are different… because they are different, not blunting but even sharpening the differences between them, following the true bent of written language.”
