Publish with us

Your book, made with care.

We are an independent literary publisher looking for distinctive voices, whether this is your first book or your tenth. Here is what we publish, how the process works and what you can expect from us.

What we publish

Book-length fiction, poetry and non-fiction. If your manuscript does not fit neatly into one of these categories, send it anyway: we read everything.

  • Contemporary Fiction
  • Philosophical Sci-Fi
  • Thriller
  • Poetry
  • Literary Fiction
  • Non-Fiction

The process at a glance

From submission to launch usually takes nine to eighteen months, depending on how much editing the manuscript needs.

  1. Step 1: Submission

    Send us a short synopsis, a sample of your manuscript and a few words about yourself through the submission form.

  2. Step 2: Editorial review

    Our editors read every submission. If the sample interests us, we ask for the full manuscript. Expect a reply within eight to twelve weeks.

  3. Step 3: Contract

    If we would like to publish your book, we offer a contract covering rights, royalties and timelines, and talk it through with you.

  4. Step 4: Editing

    You work with an editor on structural and line edits, followed by copy-editing and proofreading. You approve every change.

  5. Step 5: Design and production

    Our designers create the cover and interior. We handle ISBN, typesetting, printing and ebook conversion.

  6. Step 6: Launch

    We announce the book, send review copies, organise events and make it available on our site and through bookshops.

  • A dedicated editor from first draft to final proof
  • Original cover and interior design
  • Quality printing on archival-grade paper
