8d Press is an independent publisher of up-and-coming writers. ‘As a small, independent press we have to be quite strict on what we publish, and as much as we’d love to publish all good writing, our ‘brand’ right now is centred on short novellas, poetry and prose-poetry which delve into the human psyche and the human experience,’ said publisher Jo Chumas.

8d Press wasn, and went on from there,’ said Jo. ‘In an era before the internet, the Press gained a lot of traction through newspaper articles. It was a much simpler time back then, but it’s amazing in an era prior to social media how much people took notice of what I/we were trying to do – to give a voice to unknown writers back in the day.’
