WHO WE ARE

Empty Sink Publishing is dedicated to publishing works from new, emerging, or established writers that encourage the reader to reevaluate the world around them. Founded in August, 2013, we want work that stretches the mind, defies convention, and offers a new perspective on life.

Branden and Adam have been writing, editing and publishing together since 2006, when Adam and the other folks at daily magazine TheSequitur.com brought Branden on as an editorial board member-at-large. During their time at TheSequitur.com, Branden and Adam collaborated on and edited hundreds of articles, covered the Bonnaroo music festival four consecutive years, and successfully staged a coup to overthrow a dictatorial regime in a third world country (one of those things is not true).

Suanne Schafer was added to the Empty Sink Publishing team August, 2015. She stepped down from her position in March, 2017. Her superlative writing and editing skills proved a significant asset to the publication, and we are forever thankful for her contributions.

THE EMPTY SINK PHOTO

The photo in our header was taken by the awesome Leigh Sims, whose photographs we published in issues 3, 4, and 5. One of the photos we published was titled, “Empty Sink,” and when we saw it, we knew we had to incorporate it into the site somehow.
