Salò Press

After a conversation or several @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social, swooning over our chapbook series 'The Flirtations', we're full of ideas for what next.

Watch this space 👀

excerpt of my prose poem "Year's End, London, 2018" "It was a season where/we all suffer through notions strung together on wrist/pendants, dreaming vivid textiles woven into blankets, /fraying. The children were experiencing heartache, loss, and/ trauma. "

From @pissoir.bsky.social one of 3 poems published in their latest issue / a @salopress.bsky.social production.

You tagging an OF account is apt 👌

We've spent the past four days in Brighton catching up with friends, and generally enjoying the good vibes, @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social

I absolutely recommend literary festivals of any kind. It's such joy spending time with like-minded folks ☺️

All the congratulations to @blackshuckbooks.bsky.social. So very deserved 🥳

You know a book is good when it has a coffee stain on it within a couple of days! This pamphlet from @victoriaspires.bsky.social on @salopress.bsky.social is so good; rich, varied, and always illuminating (soi-lui a personal fave)

If you don't already know @salopress.bsky.social , check them out. They are a small publisher based in the UK and (although I'm slightly biased) I think they publish some brilliant work.

Had a great morning browsing local independent writers, publishers, and makers at Norwich Book Festival at the Forum, coming away with lots including these three from the lovely people at @salopress.bsky.social

It was lovely speaking with you. Thank you for the support. We hope you enjoy them all 🤩

Sporadic reminder that my book is still available to purchase, either direct from @salopress.bsky.social, or send me a DM if you'd like a copy from me with a message in the front ☺️

Heartfelt thank you to all who have purchased, reviewed and shared already!

Our three newest poetry chapbooks are heading out into the world 😍

You can find further information via our website: salopress.com

There’s no football on, and is not a Fake or Fortune night, so get your computer on, and some little snacks, and come to a poetry reading. Also you could order the @salopress.bsky.social book you like afterwards. I’m going to get dressed up as if I’m in Manhattan 🩷

& do get your orders in before Saturday as we'll be taking our summer break for a couple of weeks ☀️

Final reminder:

This Friday, 7pm on Zoom. It's not ticketed, so if you want in, just DM me for Zoom link 🩷

It is July. Art Sundays @salopress.bsky.social

July. On zoom or in Cardiff. A tiny tour of poetry 🩷 featuring @salopress.bsky.social and @serenbooks.bsky.social.

Weekend reading. Books which fit in small bags and are perfect for crisp picnics and a bottle of alcohol-free beer 🩷 see my PhD in action in Art Sundays and how the placing of the red lipstick on lips is tactical and how hot men in art films make us feel. Summer 2025 @salopress.bsky.social

End of July plans. Available at the very cute @salopress.bsky.social where you should buy all the books they publish 🩷

Art Sundays is available @salopress.bsky.social. It is a book which catalogues many of the best art exhibitions of 2024 alongside friendship, loss and amazing outfits. Here I am with @galiamelon.bsky.social in our party dresses 🩷

And just like that … we launched our book Art Sundays @salopress.bsky.social with readings from @victoriaspires.bsky.social and her debut book Soi-même @salopress.bsky.social and it was a beautiful evening @poetrysociety.bsky.social 🩷

We are forever grateful to those who support tiny independent presses like ours. That support means we've been able publish 36 chapbooks. 36!

Brilliant and gorgeous and vast as it is miniature. Poetry which makes you sad you have only just had the chance to read it. Available @salopress.bsky.social by @victoriaspires.bsky.social 🩷

Goodness. This astonishing pamphlet from @victoriaspires.bsky.social and @salopress.bsky.social

The girl club welcomes Art Sundays 🩷 thank you to @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social @serenbooks.bsky.social and @salopress.bsky.social for publishing my poetry, supporting new poets, and being brilliantly independent.

I’ll be there! Co-hosting a stall with the brilliant folks from @norwichprintmuseum.bsky.social

Tomorrow!! If you're local, please do come support the local literary community here in Norwich.

Loving seeing people get their @salopress.bsky.social books in the post. Check out Salo. They are cool and I like to think they probably would be in The Kids from Fame, which is my measure of cool.

This weekend @theforumnorwich.bsky.social 😍

Please do come support the local independent literary community here in beautiful Norwich.

Attention #norwich folk. We're running this event at the weekend under our @salopress.bsky.social banner. Clear your diaries and pop along!
