Bryan Borland originally conceived of Sibling Rivalry Press as a
vanity press through which to disseminate his collection of poetry, but decided to expand it to encompass other authors whose work focused on similar themes. Authors since published by Sibling Rivalry Press include
Michael Klein,
Dorothy Allison, Raymond Luczak, Bushra Rehman, and Stephen S. Mills. The SRP website describes its purpose as catering to
queer writers of
poetry, albeit not exclusively.
Accolades In 2012, Sibling Rivalry Press won the
