About

Writing for today’s world

Bridge Eight Press is a Florida-based literary publisher that believes stories build bridges. For us, that means publishing accessible fiction and poetry that speaks directly to the world our readers live in today.

Founded in 2014, the Press publishes one-to-two titles a year through our annual Bridge Eight Fiction Prize or other open submission possibilities. Visit our Submittable page to learn more about sending us your work.

Since July of 2019, Bridge Eight has been owned and operated by Caleb Michael Sarvis, with the occasional editorial help from his friends in the literary community. It has since grown to include features of film, television, sports, and other word-worthy endeavors.

It is Caleb’s hope the press will persist, especially when so many are known to fold.
