Awen has been publishing quality writing since 2003 when we launched our first title, Writing the Land: an anthology of natural words. We are a small press specialising in high-quality writing that may not be highly commercial but deserves to find a readership. We like work that is imaginative, boundary-pushing, eco-conscious, enchanting, and challenging to received wisdoms. In a nutshell: fiction, poetry and creative non-fiction with inspiration at its heart. We publish a small, discerning list of up-and-coming authors who we think deserve wider attention. Our ethos is based upon qualitative rather than quantitative criteria: quality of writing and quality of production, rather than units sold or shareholder value. Awen is a cottage-run business; we believe in human-centred communication that connects, not distances, people. We value the word – written, spoken, given – and love our living language. We believe in the power of the imagination to set people free. We hope you enjoy our titles, Awen Publications inspiration at your fingertips
