IRON Press has been championing new writing since 1973, and is as committed as ever to the principles of small press publishing. They spurn literary competitions, marketing junkets and overhyped hacks, while continuing their policy of discovering the best new talent in the North-East region, the rest of the country and sometimes the world.

IRON Press brings out single collections of poetry and fiction, international anthologies and contemporary plays. It is also the United Kingdom's leading publisher of Haiku.
