ABOUT CRIMSON PULPFIC

WHO WE ARE

We're an independent micro-press publishing modern pulp fiction with grit, craft, and independence. Founded by author and publisher Jay Tarzwell, Crimson PulpFic keeps alive the old pulp tradition of mystery, masks, and stories that burn too bright for corporate shelves.

In an age of algorithms and marketing departments, we still believe in stories that matter more than metrics. Our house writers span crime noir, weird fiction, adventure, science fiction, and romantic suspense. Each came knocking with stories the world needs to hear. We gave them a home where quality matters more than quarterly reports.

Crimson PulpFic operates on a simple principle: deadlines still matter, and the story always comes first.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

The pulp tradition has always been about speed, craft, and stories that grab readers by the throat. We honor that tradition while bringing modern standards of quality and professionalism.

Quality Over Quantity

We publish fewer books, but every one earns its place on the shelf. Our editorial process is rigorous. Our production standards are professional. Our commitment to craft is non-negotiable.

The Pen Name Tradition

Like the pulp magazines of old, we embrace the tradition of pen names and masks. Our writers maintain anonymity to write without restraint, free from the constraints of day jobs, reputations, or expectations. The story matters more than the signature.

Independence Matters

We're not beholden to shareholders, marketing committees, or trend-chasing algorithms. We publish what we believe in. We work with writers we trust. We build relationships that last beyond a single book deal.

Not Accepting Submissions

We're not currently accepting new author submissions. Our focus remains on nurturing our existing roster and delivering exceptional stories to readers who still believe in the power of pulp.
