Penned in the Margins is currently accepting new book proposals from both agented and unagented writers. We are looking to publish exciting, risk-taking new poetry, fiction, literary criticism and non-fiction.
From small beginnings as a reading series in a converted railway arch in south London, Penned in the Margins has grown over the last decade into a respected, award-winning literary arts company producing new work live, in print and online. We create publications and performances for people who are not afraid to take risks
We do not publish single poems or previously published books, including self-published books. Our focus is UK-based writers. A track-record of magazine, pamphlet or online publication, readings, residencies and/or creative projects is desirable.
We encourage proposals from all writers, regardless of age, gender, race, religion and background.
