About

Great storytelling doesn’t just entertain, it energises.
We are a small, independent and traditional press located in Clapham. We're London-based and the majority of our books are about Britain. But our memoirs and travelogues take you around the world. So do many of our thrillers.
We publish page turners about politics. We grapple and engage, move and disturb, inform and entertain.

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.
