Fishlock Press See other projects related to this listing. Fledgling Listing: This project is new and has been listed with us for less than six months. About Fishlock is a new independent press based in London. With every book we publish, we strive to embolden our readers’ lives, to spark curiosity, and unearth a deeper understanding of the experiences of others.We are searching for a fresh, eclectic range of writing. Unconstrained by genre, subject, or length, we want our books to unlock a new world for our reader; from the realistic to the extraordinary.We value stories that are compelling, whip-smart and above all original. Books that are brimming with clear, yet sophisticated, style and point of view. Most often we are attracted to literary, voice-driven stories, those which are led by the distinctive attitude of their narrators but also anchored by the writer’s outlook too. We also love a plotty story that keeps you guessing.Our authors must aim to actively invite the reader into their stories, providing the opportunity for limitless curiosity: open-ended open-mindedness, an ironclad commitment to invention, and renewed visions of the written word – and the world.
