TONGA hopes to cultivate voices that may go overlooked by larger publishing houses that are often unable to pursue edgier material.

 

TONGA’s definition of edgy is more in the material of the novel than it is in its presentation. We are unafraid of dark material. We are interested in depth.

The first TONGA title will be 'You Deserve Nothing' by Alexander Maksik, a student at the Iowa Writers Workshop.
