Paperback
DILIM is a small woman-owned, Filipino-owned independent press working to elevate Philippines-based and Filipino diaspora writers. From mythic pasts, unseen futures, and the subterranean spaces in between, our anthologies feature emerging, debut, and established Pinoy authors and poets.
We’re looking for stories that take risks—the kind that stay with you long after you close the book.
Join us as we outlast the darkness together.
DILIM, pronounced DEE-lim, generally means "dark" in the Filipino language; however, our meaning is more about obscurity and a total absence of light. We use this word, a strong word, to challenge each of our authors to shine their own light.
