Our Indie Extravaganza is open for pitches! 🙌
The price of paper has been going up every year & publishers have been shrinking fonts on the page to cram as much in. It's exhausting reading tiny type. Let's not forget accessibility implications either.
We ❤️ indie presses and their incredible commitment to supporting writers and introducing new voices. Thanks for everything you do!
Haunt is one of our favourites. So disappointed to hear this news. Indie/small press publishing often puts out the most exciting books in the UK 🖤

Delighted that Good Boy is included on the Bram Stoker Award prelim ballot for Long Fiction
After a boy vanishes on the outskirts of a small town, a woman spies a mysterious man digging a grave in the exact spot of the disappearance. However, the man's true purpose is far more chilling...
We've been diligently reading through story submissions, so we can get back to people post-haste
If you haven't heard from us yet, we still have your story in our queue or moved to the 'maybe' pile
🏠 Today's Staff Pick Of The Day is This House Isn't Haunted But We Are by Stephen Howard, chosen by Marguerite at The Lahaska Bookshop.

It's funny how all these big publishers have been setting up new imprints like this in the past 2 or so years when small independent press publishing has been releasing these sorts of books for, like, ever with a devoted and delightful readership 💷💵

If you're ever able to get the (wildly overpriced) Christmas biscuits from Fortnum, I highly recommend trying a tin. It's a definite pick me up
