Dialect Press
Dialect Press is a small independent press based in Gloucestershire, not far from the Cotswold Way overlooking the Severn Vale, Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons.
We publish collaborative writing by writers and artists working in rural and edgeland spaces.
Please note that Dialect Press is currently closed to submissions.
Our latest titles are Rachel Goodman and Elvire Roberts’ poetry book Knee to Knee and enjambments from artist duo Nck Grellier and Emily Lucas (both laughing).
Dialect Press titles are available directly from our bookshop.
Our books are all printed in the UK. We aim to use the least environmentally damaging methods we can find, which means 100% recycled paper as a minimum.
Dialect Press is a member of the Indie Press Network, an open network that seeks to help connect independent publishers with each other, with booksellers and with readers.

DIRT is an ecopoetry imprint of Dialect Press.
DIRT publishes plantable, environmental poetry written in collaboration, and inspired by climate science. Printed on unbleached, compostable paper with vegetable inks, each pamphlet is supplied with a bag of seeds so that the work can be planted and literally go back into the earth.
We raised funds for this project with a fantastic, crowdfunded campaign that enabled R&D for the publications and funded the prototype, a collaboration called Chapel.
DIRT is edited by Alice Willitts.
