ABOUT US



Women-owned indie publishing company dedicated to advancing the professional interests of career-focused writers in and around the 518 area code region through networking, advocacy, and publication.
​
Pub518, or 518 Publishing Company LLC as we are officially recognized, started in 2016 with four women who gathered frequently to write, edit, plot, and kill (maim, or morph) characters; as well as to talk about writing, editing, plotting, and the most dramatic ways to kill off characters.
​
Our mission is to give local writers a leg up in the publishing world by providing them with a venue for short works of (mostly) fiction. We have six published anthologies, Beneath the Misty Surface, Influence of the Moon, Dark and Bitter, Exploits in The Adirondacks, A Guide to Useless Sidekicks, and Cold and Crisp
​
These anthologies have provided a venue for our authors to be recognized with nominations and awards including; The 2020 Dwarf Stars Anthology and Award, Pushcart Prize Nominations, Rhysling Nomination, and Critter Awards for Best Anthology, Best Editors, Best Publishers, and more!
