Julia

As a tiny independent DIY press we have zero funding, we'll likely never be on an awards list, but we are passionate about what we do, and paying writers.

We pay our writers 50% of profits.

Every sale matters more than you know. Thank you for the continued support 💜

Lovely to hear you read Victoria (and well done on hosting with such sensitivity).

‘…freed, I meadow / I petal for the sun…’ Congratulations to @corinnaboard.bsky.social on tonight’s brilliant launch of ‘Mædwe’ from @salopress.bsky.social 🥳. Fabulous guest readings too from @sophiaargyris.bsky.social, Tom Branfoot, @minorroarr.bsky.social & @victoriaspires.bsky.social 💚

This is profoundly beautiful and moving Helen - many congratulations 🙌

Thank you Ronita! ☺️

I really am so sorry to learn that the physical and emotional toll on you is so desperately high. The cocktail of painkillers must complicate things hugely. I do hope you can find some small moments of relief Julian. Thinking of you.

Thanks Corinna…and I would love to see your collages!

I am very sorry to hear that Julian. You must be in an unimaginable amount of pain, which must also be so difficult to manage. I hope that there are people around you to provide the compassion, understanding and support that you need. Do take care of yourself.

Thanks Julian ☺️. (Lovely to ‘see you’…I hope you are doing okay.)

Thank you ever so much Sarah! You are incredibly kind and your continued support really does mean a great deal. 🤗

Thank you for letting me be part of this milestone issue, & here is to another 100 issues of experimental wondrousness! 🎉

Inordinately excited to be the collage ‘cover girl’ (!) for @streetcakemag.bsky.social’s special 100th issue 🥳

Am so looking forward to spending time with your words Corinna. Huge congratulations once again! 🥳

All the hype surrounding the forthcoming Wuthering Heights film leaving you cold? Dive into @poetclare.bsky.social’s brilliant series of prose poems about Emily Brontë in ‘Lives of the Female Poets’ instead! @bloodaxebooks.bsky.social 😍

Honoured to have a collage piece included in the latest hope-filled, light-spilling issue of @antiheroinchic.bsky.social. Many thanks to EIC James Diaz 🤩

Thank YOU for sharing your enthusiasm, knowledge and PRB insights Sarah! 🥰

This is a wonderful episode, with some really marvellous discussions and readings from ‘Darling Blue’. Loved the PRB dinner party musings too! (Elizabeth Siddal has to be on the invite list!) 🤩

Oh, thank you for this Paul! Your very kind comments really do mean so much. ☺️ 🙏🏻

Hepworth in Colour This major exhibition will be the first to explore Barbara Hepworth's lifelong fascination with colour.

Great choice! Talking of treats, assume you have seen who the Courtauld’s summer show will be devoted to?! courtauld.ac.uk/whats-on/exh... Saw it & immediately thought of you! (Btw have sent you a DM but am not sure if you pick them up?) 😊

Congratulations to the brilliant @madelinepotter.bsky.social on the publication of ‘Theological Monsters’… this erudite text promises all manner of Gothic delights! 😈🖤👇

Huge congratulations 🥳! Cannot wait to read this. 👏🏻

Delighted to have an object poem included in the latest issue of Volupté Journal exploring the decadent fairy tale as it relates to the work of Renée Vivien 👇
