If you have a book that would benefit by association with controversy, they're the crowd to run with.

I just found it today and thought it was the strangest publishers site Ive ever seen.
Thanks for checking it out!


They were quite interested in one of my manuscripts. But I decline to accept the contract simply because I was really unsure about this publisher and wanted to go with one that I thought more of and was actually well respected.

Barricade is definitely edgy, but it's a well-established commercial independent that has done quite well with many of its books and gets both industry and critical attention.

Thanks all. Im thinking of them for my death row women book.

Should be a piece of cake if you have good platform. They were wanting my southern women serial killer book.

not published yet, still in the writing stages, but they liked the proposal. Sorry for the delay on this. I thought of you the other day when I was talking to Ann Rule and Sue Russell.

I am starting to look at small presses and was wondering if anyone here has had recent interactions with them or has anything to add. I know this is an old thread, but if anyone knows if they offer any advances, that would be great to know. Thanks.

Recently got an R saying they're not taking on new projects at this time.
