Sidebar Press is a new independent publisher of literary crime and page-turning fiction drawn from the realities of modern Britain. We are currently developing our inaugural list.

Real
Fiction.

What We Publish

We want stories that explore the places, communities and institutions that shape everyday life but rarely take centre stage.

What We Look For

We are drawn to thoughtful, atmospheric and socially observant fiction with strong narrative drive. We do not publish YA or graphic novels.

Submissions

We welcome submissions from both literary agents and unagented writers. Please visit our submissions page for more information.

Submit your work.
