About Shoestring Press
Shoestring Press is an independent publisher based in Nottinghamshire.
We specialise in publishing poetry sequences and collections, usually by:
- Established but unfashionable poets.
- Poets we are introducing to British readers for the first time, though they may be well known elsewhere.
We pay particular attention to layout and illustrative material which is legitimately part of the verbal text or vigorously enhances it.
As well as publishing works by UK poets, we have a selection of poetry and ficton by Greek and Australian authors.
Shoestring Press regrets that it is unable to consider unsolicited TSS for the foreseeable future.
