Literature for the Times We Live In

It's In The Words

At Mirare Press, we publish socially engaged literature steeped in the culture, society, and world we live in. Founded in Boston in 2007, our indie press focuses on fiction, and non-fiction that addresses issues that rule and shape our lives. See some of the books we have published, or love.

Our Mission

Our Vision

With a diverse roster of writers, including novelist and Mirare Press co-founder Gail Vida Hamburg, and novelist and pseudonymous satirist Christina Di Pensare, we are committed to amplifying voices that change the narrative and social awareness through singular perspectives and oblique storytelling.

Small Worlds Flash Fiction & Microfiction by Gail Vida Hamburg

Again and again, something in one's own life or in the life around one will seem so important that one cannot bear for it to pass into oblivion.

There must never come a time, the writer feels, when people do not know about this.

Literary Impact

We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.
