About Us
Small, but restless. Clever Cocoon Publishers was born from a belief that literature can molt — that storytelling must shed its skin.
We publish fiction for now but aim to publish creative nonfiction, and poetry in the future, also branching into short-film productions.
The Unflinching Voice
We seek and amplify narratives that are daring, lyrical, and unafraid of their own truth.
Beyond The Page
Our future unfolds across creative nonfiction, poetry, and the visceral world of short-film.
A Restless Spirit
Small but ambitious, we challenge literature to molt and embrace its next form.
Cultivating Artistic Metamorphosis
We are a creative partner committed to your journey of profound artistic change.
Independent. Inventive. Inclusive.
Our Commitment
We are committed to creators who are daring, lyrical, and true to their inner metamorphoses.
For now our lists are full until 2028.
The Call for Submissions window will open again in late 2027. The Submission Guidelines will be available then.
