Crosstimbers Publications is a limited liability corporation organized under the statutes of the State of Oklahoma.
We primarily publish genre fiction, with a special emphasis on science fiction, fantasy, slipstream, and horror. We also publish nonfiction articles related to these genres and to the craft of writing generally. Our signature periodical is Tales From the Crosstimbers, a quarterly online compilation of short fiction.
Our goals are
-
- to publish original fiction that will entertain and stimulate our readers;
- to provide a supportive venue for our authors; and
- to create a diverse and interactive community of readers, authors, and others interested in our genres and in the craft of writing.
We also have interests in supporting authors from the general region of the Crosstimbers Forest which includes Oklahoma and adjacent states, and in increasing the diversity of our readers, authors. and content. Members of under-represented groups who can bring their lived experience to their fiction are especially invited to submit their works.
As a publisher, we carry out the operations necessary for producing and distributing books, magazines or other periodicals, such as gathering, writing, and editing articles and stories, and preparing advertisements. We may publish books, magazines or other periodicals in print or electronic form.
We do not sell products directly to consumers but instead maintain an online presence with third-party vendors such as Amazon.
