We are excited to announce Walela Books – Bridge House Publishing’s brand new imprint. Home to cutting-edge and genre-bending literary fiction that doesn’t quite fit in the box. Our first publication is out and we are now open to further submissions.
We are on the hunt for quirky and innovative storytelling, words that astound and delight our readers.
At Walela Books we don’t follow current trends: we make the trends. Our authors are encouraged to push creative boundaries, to create bold and original stories that will stay with our readers well beyond the last page. Walela books is the perfect sanctuary for wild ideas that stray from traditional publishing companies. At Walela Books readers can always expect the unexpected.
What makes Walela Books different:
Genre focus: we redefine traditional genres and hand the reigns to our authors to produce unique high end and experimental literary fiction.
Expecting the unexpected: Quirky, absurd narratives with twists and turns and novels that make you pause with wonder and glee.
If you have an adventurous, free-spirited, or even unconventional idea up your sleeve, we would love to hear from you.
