About Me



Urban Fox Press is a community arts organistation based in Chatham, Kent. We like to make books the way we think they should be made, and the same goes for art and music. People we've published include Billy Childish, Wolf Howard, Sexton Ming, Bill Lewis, Zara Carpenter, Katherine May, Joe Machine, Michael Curtis, The Medway Mermaids and David Wise. Urban Fox is funded by receipts from the gigs we run and sales from the .. Shop, which you can find at www.urbanfoxpress.com.
