'blackheath books' welcome and value submissions of work from authors interested in appearing in our future publications. Please familiarise yourself with our 'house style', hey maybe even buy a book! (unless you show some interest and commitment to us it is unfair to expect us to be interested or commited to you).
We will consider any genre although we do focus on what can be described as 'beat' poetry. Your work should certainly be irreverent and challenging yet reflect the commonality of existence. We reserve the right to decline work. Ideally your work should be unpublished. Please don’t send unsolicited manuscripts or large pieces of work (we cannot accept responsibility for any lost items). A 1-2 page book proposal will suffice, this should include a sample of your work.
Please be mindful of the following:
· Niether of us is going to get rich out of any arrangement. Fairness is our policy.
· We are a small operation and will consider proposals for publication but please bear in mind we are only able to publish a handful of publications a year and your work may not be one of these.
· Our current format for publication is 40-50 page ‘chap’ books (14,000 words max). Currently we are publishing editions of 100 signed and numbered copies.
Think ordinary, think amateur, think irreverent, think blackheath books! Please contact us for further information.
