Holden Made Me Angsty

Since Duck Prints Press was founded in January 2021, we have published over 200 stand-alone short stories by dozens of authors, ranging in length from just over 1,000 words up to 9,999 words. Most of these short stories are available for purchase individually from our webstore or are only available to people who back our Patreon… until now! With Ducks in a Row: A Curated Collection of Short Stories and Duxxx in a Row: A Curated Collection of Explicit Stories, Duck Prints Press dips into our vault, anthologizing stories we published from 2021 to 2023 into all-new collections!

Whether you’ve looked at our short story offerings and weren’t sure where to start, or you’ve heard about Duck Prints Press and wanted a tasting selection of what we offer, or you’ve wanted all your favorites in one lovely volume, or you had no idea we existed until today and just heard “short stories by queer authors” and said “SIGN ME UP,” Ducks in a Row and Duxxx in a Row have a little something for most everyone, with stories in different genres, with different types of characters, and by many different authors!

Ducks in a Row contains 22 short stories by 22 different authors and is 236 pages long. Duxxx in a Row features 19 short stories by 19 different authors and is 264 pages long. Each is being offered in e-book (ePub and PDF) and trade paperback formats, and we’ve also got some of our signature dux merchandise (including our first-ever dux enamel pin!) and art prints and bookmarks featuring the gorgeous artwork Pallas Perilous did for the book covers!

Happy Transgender Awareness Week! This year, we’ve put together a list of 34 books: our favorite books with trans characters, written by trans authors! Note that we used the broad definition of trans, including non-binary identities under the transgender umbrella, and we’ve done our best to confirm the gender identities of these authors, but gender isn’t always fixed and people may change their identification over time; if someone we included doesn’t currently identify as trans, our error was unintentional. The contributors to the list are: Linnea Peterson, Tris Lawrence, D.V. Morse, Nina Waters, E. C., Terra P. Waters, Rascal Hartley, Sebastian Marie, S. J. Ralston, Shannon, Shea Sullivan, Alex and an anonymous contributor.
