The “Yellowjackets”
A sideways resuscitation of Penguin’s abandoned, yellow-topped miscellany series, an effort to win the colour back from cowardice, Tenement’s “yellowjackets” are a thread of angular, interdisciplinary and experimental works in English and first-time English language translation in which the political and poetic intersect.
Tenement is presently closed for submissions for works in our “Yellowjacket” series; if you’ve submitted a manuscript or proposal over the course of our April ‘24 ‘open call,’ the Tenement editors will be in touch prior to the end of October ‘24.
The Tenement Press editors will be reading submissions for prospective entries in the “Yellowjacket” series from April 1 through 30, 2024. Tenement hopes to support books that resist strict and easy category—works that are angular, inquisitive, argumentative, and engaged—and, for a best sense of the stripe and variety of work we look to champion, our catalogue can be found here.
Poetry & Short Form Prose
A sample text (3000 to 5000 words, for prose submissions; up to ten pages of poems); a proposal of 1000 to 2000 words in length; examples of previous work(s), be it published or unpublished; links to any visual and/or sonic documentation of work(s); for manuscripts in development, a rough writing schedule; a brief biographic note.
Works in Translation
A sample text (3000 to 5000 words, for prose submissions; up to ten pages of poems); a proposal of 1000 to 2000 words in length; examples of previous work(s), be it published or unpublished; for manuscripts in development, a two page outline and rough writing schedule; a brief biographic note (for both the translator and author). For works in translation, please ensure that you have queried the availibility of rights with the relavent parties in advance of your submission.

No University Press
No University Press (NoUP) publishes argumentative work of any field, so long as it is also work that strives beyond its field; work possessing a presentist enthusiasm that works beyond the policies of enclosure that define and underwrite the mission of academic publishing.
Tenement is presently closed for submissions for works in our “No University Press” series; if you’ve submitted a manuscript or proposal over the course of our May ‘24 ‘open call,’ the Tenement editors will be in touch prior to the end of September ‘24.
The Tenement Press and No University Press editors will be reading submissions for prospective entries in the “NoUP” series from May 1 through 31, 2024. We seek work from both within and outside of the academy that represents the ideas, the processes, the meanings of institutionalities gone awry. Work from within the academy that draws away from its enclosures and institutionalities at every moment, in every line, and work from without the academy that might tempt academicians to stray.
The “No” of NoUP is no negation, but a means of opening forms of argument impelled by enthusiasm and exploration. NoUP will publish and support work that would otherwise be lost to a readership gated by critical and institutionalist governance. We seek work riddled by the dynamics of doubt. Unmoored work that strives to exist without the pressure of affiliation. A refusal of the adjunct, the subordinate, the sense of structural dispensability that saddles a monograph. Emergent work on emergency. Positive work. Peripheral works. Minor works on minor authors. Furious, engaged works. Cross analyses of fury. Quick work. Slow work. New work. Old work. Invested work. Political work. Porous work. Short work, characterized by openness and incompletions that remain avenues of entry to the uninitiated reader, reopening unhealed scars of patched up conclusions to unhealable disagreements. Collaborative and cooperative work. Tangled work. Open work. A disciplinary bleed.
Submissions are encouraged from all quarters; and work of any stripe and variety; be you author, translator, critic, poet, academic, artist, activist, filmmaker, archivist, librarian, musician, early-bird, or night-owl, et cetera.
A proposal of 1500 to 2500 words in length; examples of previous work(s), be it published or unpublished; links to any visual and/or sonic documentation of work(s); for manuscripts in development, a two page outline and rough writing schedule; a brief biographic note.
