About

The aim of Elastic Press is to produce small print run, high quality, single-author short story anthologies in a variety of genres with the intention of raising the profile of writers who are looking to consolidate their reputations within the independent press and beyond. Although the preference is to collate previously published material from relatively well-known independent press writers, we also consider submissions from emerging talented authors. If the material is astounding then chances are you will be added to our catalogue. [They won the British Fantasy Society's Best Small Press Award in 2005.]
