About Argive Press

Argive Press is a micro-publishing company trying to establish itself.
We champion fiction that is outside of the confines of Big-Publishing. Our aesthetic is as follows:

We specialize in Minnesota and midwestern writers.

We believe good fiction moves the reader emotionally. And to move the reader emotionally, characters are if anything even more important than plot.

We emphasize literate comedy, but always balanced with serious issues as well.

Good fiction speaks with a narrative voice custom-made for that specific story.
