Anyone can write long. Few can write clean. Swerving Sizes is a masterclass in purposeful compression—every story a pressure cooker where something has to give. Sometimes it’s the characters. Sometimes it’s you.

He wakes up as a dinosaur/murderbot/coffee mug and somehow it’s romantic. Out 4/28. unsolicitedpress.com/shop/p/jen-gar…

Imagine a book where every sentence pulls its weight like it’s on deadline. Where characters break open inside tight spaces. Where constraint becomes a weapon. That’s Swerving Sizes by Michael Cocchiarale. unsolicitedpress.com/shop/p/swervin… #books

Our Stranger Than Fiction bundle is a collection for readers who know the world is weirder than any plot we could invent, and that the best writing doesn’t tame that strangeness — it leans into it. unsolicitedpress.com/shop/p/strange… #UnsolicitedPress

100 words is not forgiving. 200 is not generous. 300 is barely enough space to breathe. But here, that’s the point. These stories thrive inside the tightest margins—and the tension is addictive. #books unsolicitedpress.com/shop/p/swervin…

Readers loving Jen and Gary’s Infinite (Quantum) Entanglements are also picking up Lines. Two titles that lean into curiosity, risk, and the joy of literary weirdness. #bookcommunity #smallpressfiction #readmoreindie
