About Flambard Press
Flambard is an independent press now based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Established in 1990, Flambard publishes about ten books of poetry and fiction a year. Flambard’s list includes writers from all across the UK and abroad, yet the press remains especially supportive of writers from northern England.
Flambard’s poetry forms the backbone of the press. Flambard has published several collections by well-known poets such as Peter Bennet and S.J. Litherland, coupling this long-term support with a policy to incorporate first collections into each year’s planning.
Flambard’s growing fiction programme has seen the press publish novels by established authors such as John Murray and Martin Edwards, while also actively looking to take on first and second books. The press is an enthusiastic supporter of the short story, and recent highlights include Four Taxis Facing North by the Caribbean author Elizabeth Walcott-Hackshaw. The Flambard Modern Classics series brought the work of legendary Newcastle author Sid Chaplin back into print and the press has also published books with a visual-art element, such as Night Train by Sean O’Brien and Birtley Aris.
