About Me

Legend Press is the youngest-run mainstream fiction publisher is the UK. Founded in 2005, the company publishes contemporary, cutting-edge fiction, building a strong and diverse novel list along with an annual short story collection.


Legend Press is always looking for original writing talent, whether experienced novelists or launching and developing the careers of first-time authors. The antithesis of elitist, snotty-nosed traditionalists, Legend Press contributes regular articles to a range of publications as well as offering talks, writing competitions, e-bulletins and a text-setting service aimed at small and self-publishers.
As well as loving our books, the team at Legend Press also talk far too much so whether you're a writer or just want to say something about anything, get in touch!
