Founded in 2023 and run by a Brooklyn-based collective of writers, artists, and musicians, Under the BQE Press is dedicated to celebrating creative communities that flourish in the shadows of the mainstream near and far. Each year’s publication list is acquired by the authors who were published the year prior, creating a deep-rooted platform of writer-supported literature. 

Under The BQE is distributed by IPG.
