About:
Black Cat Poetry Press is a small independent press that opened its doors in early 2022. It has grown from strength to strength and has now published 10 books with a busy forthcoming list. Our submission window is open once a year in October for pamphlet submissions. We pride ourselves in providing an opportunity for both established writers and those just starting. We often mentor and support writers with manuscripts that aren't quite publishing-ready. We care particularly about the poetry of the environment, women and stories of displacement however are interested in all subjects.
