We publish writers who need to be read; who turn the world upside-down with their insight. Knowing the surge of joy that comes out of a book, we create beautiful objects that will still be in the cultural imagination 100 years on.

Annual Pitch session

Each year I open up for a pitch session on the last Friday of March between 9am and 12 noon (in your time zone) for narrative nonfiction, fiction and poetry. More information at the start of the year. Please wait for this session to send any proposals as I am a one-woman enterprise and already have tired eyes.
