'blackheath books' have become a victim of their own success. For over four years we have welcomed and valued submissions of work from authors interested in appearing in our future publications. However we have had to close the open submission process due to sheer weight of numbers and a waiting list of over a year for publication. We hope this is just a temporary measure and we are able to accept open submissions at some point in the future.

At times when there has been a high volume of submissions it was impossible for us to reply to every enquiry for publication. This was neither fair nor sustainable.

We would encourage you to continue to support small presses and hey, maybe think about starting your own press.

Think ordinary, think amateur, think irreverent, think blackheath books! Feel free to contact us for further information.
