Greenhouses
Trilogy anthologies that hold long-form journeys of growth, healing, and returning voices.
Greenhouses are trilogy anthologies—multi-volume collections that nurture stories across time. They explore trauma, transformation, and emotional growth through recurring themes and returning contributors. Each Greenhouse is a sheltered space where creative works are tended with patience and allowed to evolve across seasons.
Some stories and healing processes need more than one book. Like plants that require warmth, protection, and time, contributors often revisit themes across years. Greenhouses hold these returning voices gently, allowing each volume to capture deeper layers of growth.
Greenhouses include creative works rooted in emotional truth, reflection, and transformation, such as:
- Introspective or reflective poetry
- Personal essays and lived-experience narratives
- Art or photography tied to memory or identity
- Letters to self or others
- Lyrics, verses, or hybrid forms blending text and visuals
- Solo or collaborative works that show evolution over time
Greenhouses emerged after our early community projects under Plants. While Plants marked our beginning, Greenhouses became the home for long-form, multi-year storytelling. The first Greenhouse title was Gray: We Hide Our Colors Within, which launched The Gray Volumes trilogy.
Submissions for The Gray Volumes—Book 3 are closed. With this final release, the Greenhouses series is complete.
Historically, Greenhouses welcomed emotionally honest work across genres, including previously published pieces, simultaneous submissions, and varied forms of creative expression.
Not anymore. The Greenhouses trilogy collections are now fully closed.
No future submission windows are planned for this shelf.

Bouquets
A shelf honoring the external anthologies that welcomed our authors into their creative gardens.
Bouquets are external anthologies curated by other publishers, editors, and creative communities who invited IGP authors to contribute. These projects belong entirely to their original creators.
Bouquets represent gratitude, collaboration, and creative generosity—a collection of gifts from communities that welcomed our authors. Each title is a bloom offered by another garden.
Any anthology that includes work by an IGP author may be considered. Bouquets highlight partnerships, invitations, and creative bridges beyond IGP.
Authors may submit a recommendation by emailing forigp.submissions@gmail.com or sending a DM with:
- The Anthology Title
- Editor/Compiler/Publisher/Year
- A single Link to the book (preferably Amazon or the publisher’s website)
Together, they complete a landscape of connection—stories grown within IGP, and stories shared beyond it.
