Foreshore Books is a traditional small press committed to publishing exceptional literary fiction, memoirs and poetry.
We seek out distinctive, diverse voices from around the world. Our aim is to bring readers stories that might not always find space in the mainstream — books that reflect a range of experiences, cultures, and backgrounds.
We publish against the current. In a world where literary publishing is often narrowed by trends and algorithms, we strive to open space for originality and variety. Our goal is to help degentrify the world of literary publishing — championing writing that is sincere, thoughtful, and unique, rather than safe or predictable.
As a traditional publisher, we value the craft and care that goes into every book. We believe good literature can come from anywhere, and that every voice matters.
At Foreshore Books, we are committed to connecting readers with stories that offer new perspectives and help keep literature fresh and meaningful.
Thank you for being part of our journey.
We welcome submissions of literary fiction, memoirs and poetry that reflect diverse voices, originality, and fresh perspectives. Please send a cover letter, a brief author bio, and the first three chapters or up to 50 pages of your manuscript (as a single PDF or Word document).
Please email your submission to submissions@foreshorepublishing.com.
Closing Date: 30 November 2025
