PARLYAREE PRESS is an independent publisher of fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry. We seek writing that challenges the norm, language that exists in the between, and notions of the oft-overlooked. Founded in Atlanta, Georgia in 2023, PARLYAREE PRESS is dedicated to publishing writing that expands, reveals, and interrogates the mainstream. Our books exist in the liminal space between what was and what will be.

The cant of circus performers, freaks, queers, and thespians, Parlyaree is the invented language required to tell the stories of those othered, to keep their secrets, to keep them safe. It is a polyglot of experiences that may only be told in one’s own voice. Parlyaree—as a minted language—borrows from what was to create something new.

That is what excites us at Parlyaree Press. Stories that transform; essays that reimagine; poetry that takes us behind the stanza to the core of our being and back again; language that plays as much as it conveys. As with our namesake, Parlyaree Press holds the space between the complex and the mundane, the new and referential, the othered in the everyday.

Writers: tell us your secrets.
Readers: reimagine your worlds.
