Foreshore Publishing is an independent London-based publishing house dedicated to discovering, developing and publishing books that matter.
We believe great books have the power to challenge perceptions, spark conversation and stay with readers long after the final page has been turned. Our focus is on publishing distinctive fiction, memoir, poetry and children’s books that explore the richness and complexity of the human experience.
We champion both established writers and exceptional new voices, seeking authors with something original to say and the ability to say it well. Literary merit, authenticity and originality sit at the heart of every publishing decision we make.
Today, Foreshore Publishing operates through two complementary publishing divisions.
Foreshore Books is our traditional publishing imprint, dedicated to discovering outstanding new writing and building the long-term careers of exceptional authors.
Foreshore Publishing Services provides a carefully curated hybrid publishing pathway for selected authors whose work we believe deserves a professional publishing home and a route into the trade.
Whether publishing traditionally or through our publishing services programme, our commitment remains the same: to produce beautiful books to the highest possible standard and give every title the best opportunity to reach readers through bookshops, libraries and online retailers.
As an independent publisher, we are intentionally selective. We believe publishing is about more than producing books—it’s about building lasting relationships with authors, nurturing careers and connecting remarkable stories with readers around the world.
Whether you are an established writer, an emerging author or submitting your first manuscript, we invite you to explore our submission guidelines. We are drawn to books that surprise, challenge and endure. Stories that resist convention. Voices that refuse to sound like everyone else. Above all, we look for writing that leaves a lasting impression.
