About Me

Black Ocean is an independent publishing and production company based out of Boston, New York and Chicago. We are dedicated to promoting artists and writers who produce intelligent, skilful, and passionate work. In addition to publishing literary fiction, non-fiction and poetry, Black Ocean produces a number of events each year that incorporate a variety of artistic mediums. From early silent films to early punk rock, we bring together a spectrum of aesthetics, and combine them with a radical social perspective on the nature of art and humanity.

Also, find our new print journal of poems, Handsome, at www.ahandsomejournal.com

Lastly, don't forget to check out the Boston Zine Fair at www.bostonzinefair.org

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

We are currently looking for volunteers to help set up and promote shows and readings all over the country. If you are interested in helping to organize a Black Ocean event in your city or town, please drop us a line.
If you are an artist, musician, poet, or writer, and you are interested in having your work showcased at a Black Ocean party--or published through Black Ocean--please visit our website to get more information.
