Ola is a submission manager built for the small press and magazine community. Ola is part of Asterism Books, the first of many planned software tools aimed at helping small presses stay competitive and sustainable. Whether you’re just starting an online magazine, a seasoned press looking for new voices, a fellowship seeking thoughtful applicants, or a prize committee waiting to be wowed, we hope we’re the right choice for you!
Ola grew out of Oleada, a free submission platform developed by Asterism Books founder Joshua Rothes in 2020, as an alternative to pricier options in a market that seemed to care less and less about independent publishers. Ola was developed from that experience, and from numerous conversations with publishers, writers, editors, and the team at Asterism.
