Boiler House Press

About

Boiler House Press is a new publisher of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and everything in-between.
We are based at the University of East Anglia, home of the world-renowned Creative Writing MA, and a burgeoning world centre for creative-critical writing studies.
We are passionate about writing that breaks a mould; that surprises; that plays with-and-between the creative and the critical. We want to open and excite your mind.
We understand the word publishing in its broadest sense; that a book is, in essence, a packaged idea; that publishing is a process through which ideas reach people and change happens.
And we believe that publishing can and should help provide a better deal for writers.

The editors may not respond to all submissions. After waiting 30 days, assume your submission will not be accepted.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
For book publishers, it is standard to submit a cover letter, synopsis, and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
Be professional, patient, and persistent.
