JagerPress promotes short fiction, poetry

JagerPress used its X account on May 24 to promote the kinds of writing it carries on its platform, directing readers to short stories, poetry and serial fiction. The post tied the social-media push to the publisher’s existing online catalog, which includes dedicated sections for those formats. (jagerpress.com) JagerPress describes itself on its website as the digital branch of Smartass Publishers, a UK-based startup publisher. The company says it aims to help new authors move more quickly into eBook publication with no upfront costs. (x.com) ### What exactly did JagerPress promote on May 24? (jagerpress.com) The May 24 X post promoted three core categories on the platform: short stories, poems and serial fiction. The social post, referenced in the source briefing, was published from the Smartasspublish X account and highlighted those reading categories for users and prospective contributors. JagerPress’ website mirrors that structure. Separate pages on the site are devoted to “ShortStories,” “Poems,” and “Series,” showing that the social-media promotion matched the company’s existing catalog layout rather than announcing a new imprint or a one-off release. (x.com) ### How is the platform describing itself to writers? JagerPress says on its homepage that it is “the digital branch of Smartass Publishers,” and identifies Smartass Publishers as a UK-based online startup publisher. The site says the business is “looking to help new authors to proceed with the publication of their eBooks faster and quicker with no up front costs.” (x.com) That positioning places the May 24 post within a broader pitch to emerging writers. The promotion was not limited to readers browsing for fiction or poems; it also aligned with the company’s stated effort to attract authors seeking digital publication routes. (jagerpress.com) ### Where do the links in the promotion appear to send readers? JagerPress maintains a short-stories page that directs users to its free online short-stories eBook. The search snippet for that page says readers can open the eBook and adjust settings for vertical, horizontal-slide or page-turn reading. (jagerpress.com) The poetry page uses similar language. JagerPress says users can email poems for consideration and then read the free online poetry eBook through the site. The series page says new chapters are normally flagged weekly on the JagerPress blog and social-media pages, giving serial fiction a recurring publication rhythm. (jagerpress.com) ### Did the post also function as a submissions pitch? JagerPress’ site includes an authors or submissions-facing section in its navigation, alongside links for short stories, poems and series. That layout supports the source briefing’s description that the May 24 promotion invited submissions as well as readership. (jagerpress.com) A Facebook post previously associated with JagerPress used similar language, promoting “free, original short stories, poems and SERIES” on the app. That older post suggests the company has repeatedly marketed the same mix of formats across social channels, though the May 24 X post is the current promotion tied to this item. (jagerpress.com) ### What can readers or writers do next? JagerPress’ current site structure gives readers direct access to short-story, poetry and serial-fiction sections, while writers can navigate to the authors and submissions area from the same menu. (jagerpress.com) The series page says new chapters are typically flagged every week, “normally on Wednesdays,” on the blog and social-media pages. The May 24 post therefore points to a standing catalog rather than a limited-time campaign. Readers can browse the category pages now, and prospective contributors can use the site’s submissions pathways to seek placement on the platform. (facebook.com) (x.com) (jagerpress.com)
