A Space for Indie Creators

Alternative voices.
Alternative formats.
This is AltSalt.

AltSalt is a creative community and publishing platform dedicated to celebrating creative craft and human-centered technological innovation.

Our vision is to reinvent digital publishing by building a creative ecosystem where artists can experiment with new storytelling techniques, connect across disciplines, and build sustainable creative practices, with a focus on high-fidelity formats like zines, electronic literature, and comics.

Whether you’re a zinester, e-lit creator, comic artist, game developer, writer, or anything in between or beyond, we hope this can be a place where you can feel proud to showcase your work, and where your creativity can flourish alongside other like-minded creatives.

From uploading zines and e-lit projects to be showcased throughout the site; to creating with our in-house visual editor, Scroll Cinema; to using our text editor to write longform rich content; to participating in collaborative projects like Alternative Worlds — our aim is to expand your creative possibilities and build the web’s most awesome destination together.

Behind the scenes, we’re continuing to develop AltSalt as both a platform and a community.

Looking ahead, we’re working on multimodal publication tools; marketplace features for series and premium content; and editorial showcases as voted on by the community.

AltSalt is currently in beta and has a light approval process. To sign up for an account, fill out our application form and we’ll get back to you shortly.

We look forward to having you!
