Launched in 2026, Salon des Refusés is an imprint of Green Linden Press. Borrowing the name of the 1863 exhibit of artists rejected from the prestigious Paris Salon, which included such luminaries as Manet, Pissarro, Rousseau, and Whistler, Salon des Refusés champions projects that, for various reasons, have remained unseen—those deemed too strange, too unmarketable, those chronically rejected, those overlooked because of the competitive nature of publishing, and those simply abandoned. It is our conviction that literary artists working outside the margins of the expected expand our aesthetic consciousness by showing new possibilities of subject, genre, and form, and that these new possibilities often don’t reside in the complete, polished, or immediately comprehensible. We rescue brilliance from limbo and the dustbin, knowing the rejections of yesterday become the exemplars of today.
