About

Fiction Advocate

The Next Word in Craft and Criticism

We are a small press and literary community.

Our mission is to make literature more accessible by exploring new approaches to criticism; to empower more people to create literature by exploring new approaches to craft; and to make literature more essential to daily life by exploring new forms of community.

Fiction Advocate is where you’ll find the Afterwords series, Stunning Sentences, Non-Fiction by Non-Men, Write Like a Mother, and other meaningful endeavors.

Our award-winning books have been praised by The New Yorker, The Paris Review Daily, and NPR. Contributors to our web site have won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the PEN/Faulkner Award.
