Our Mission
At Confluence Press, we believe independent journalism is essential to an informed and connected society. Rooted in the Pacific Northwest, our mission is to cut through media bias and the relentless tide of despair-and-divide driven news by offering deep, context-rich stories that inform, and build trust.
We are committed to uncovering what matters—locally and regionally—through rigorous reporting and editorial independence. Nuanced context-centered reportage is at the heart of what we do and we aim to restore meaning and intellectual diversity to the public discourse, bring clarity in the noise.

Confluence Press Is Seeking Submissions
We’re looking for bold, thoughtful voices from the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
Confluence Press welcomes pitches and completed pieces that challenge bias, explore untold stories, and offer depth in this age of constant noise. We’re especially interested in reported features, narrative journalism, local investigations, and first-person essays rooted in place and perspective.
If you have a story that deserves to be told—and told well—we want to hear from you.
Send pitches or drafts straight to our Curation Desk, and include a short bio and any relevant media if available.
