Nicole Durman’s Ghosts of Nightshifts Past will be launched at Brendon Books in Taunton on 24th July. Having sold out once, the venue has kindly made additional tickets available, so get them while you can!

You can read the excellent reviews Nicole’s collection has already attracted or pre-order your copy here.

We’re very excited to announce that we’ll be publishing Christopher James’ collection ‘The Ice Sonnets’ in November 2025.

We’ll be meeting up with Chris in mid-June to get our plans in place.

You can expect to hear much more from us about his vivid and evocative collection in the coming months …

We are now accepting submissions throughout the year. For more information, please go to our Submissions page.

Our next cut-off for submissions will be September 2025, at which point we will select our longlist for this reading period. We'll shortlist five authors in October, one of whom will be published in the Spring next year.

NEW!! Due to our desire to give a voice to previously unpublished poets, we now operate a further cut-off at the end of each calendar year. We will choose the best previously-unpublished poet from all the submissions each year for publication in the following Summer. See our submissions page for more details on this.
