Books do not appear in isolation. They arrive carrying echoes: of earlier risks taken, questions first asked years ago, and truths the press has been circling all along. At Unsolicited Press, new titles often feel less like departures and more like evolution.

Buy three books. Get $10 off. Support writers who give a fuck about craft, not virality. Read work that doesn’t ask permission, soften its voice, or explain itself to men.

Like a chef who deconstructs a dish at a Michelin-starred restaurant, Kellebrew takes the ingredients that go into the making of a traditional historical novel—stories, journal excerpts, historical texts—and reassembles them into something poetic, dramatic, and surprising at every turn." https://www.unsolicitedpress.com/shop/p/theriverpeople

Young, highly skilled, and ambitious, both are caught up in financial hardship in their native Uganda. When Kagaba leaves for the UK as an economic immigrant, Ajuna’s happy, fulfilling relationship is under threat. And in the indifferent UK, Kagaba must battle the cold, and the cold shoulder of London. https://www.catalystpress.org/all-content/promises
