And You Press

And You Press, or &You Press, was created to release the anthologies built from the short story contests that launched NFB in the fall of 2024. The name reflects the requirement that every book published under this imprint will have multiple collaborators so that every title released brings multiple voices to each project.

This may mean additional anthologies (more are planned), novels with two or more authors, author and illustrator teams, collected works, or something else entirely. As long as the work has multiple creators who will credited equally for the work they’ve put into it or will put into it, it may be appropriate for this imprint.

Announcing the contest that will build the fifth book in the
&You Anthologies Series!

And You Press is
Acquiring in the Areas Of . . .

At this time, we are looking for only

  • adult and young adult fiction in the areas of contemporary romance, mystery/thriller, cozy mystery, light sci-fi/fantasy/speculative, paranormal romance, and contemporary fiction

  • adult nonfiction essay collections/anthologies with a humorous theme/tone

  • 30,000-word minimum

Expectations of the Press

Beyond the requirement of two or more co-creators, we are looking to add members to the And You team who will actively promote their work but also themselves as creatives. The ideal And You author/contributor will be open to collaborating with other And You authors/contributors on promotion and events (if applicable). The motto of Nicole Frail Books and its imprints is Community Over Competition, and that will always be in play.
