Welcome

BleakHouse Publishing is an independent press devoted to creative writing, art, and photography on social justice. The press, founded by Robert Johnson, a professor of justice, law and society at American University, is staffed primarily by American University students and alumi. BleakHouse Publishing's mission is to publish works that shed a humane light on the nether world of penal institutions, as well as other repressive settings, practices, and beliefs.
