At Juice Press, we believe that fruit is more than just a food. It’s a symbol of growth, change, and the passage of time. It’s the juicy, fleshy center of stories about love, loss, growth, and transformation. The textures, colors, and flavors of fruit are as diverse as the voices we publish, and we seek to capture that variety in every issue.

   Whether it’s an essay about the symbolic significance of an apple in mythology, a short story where oranges play a central role in a family’s reunion, or a poem that finds deeper meaning in a single peach, we are drawn to the many ways fruit can weave itself into our understanding of the world.

​   Our editorial mission is simple: to create a space where writers can explore the natural world through the lens of fruit, where every piece of writing is a chance to savor something meaningful. We strive to feature diverse voices, from emerging writers to established authors, each bringing their own perspective and interpretation fruits that inspire them.
