Independent publishing focused on poetry, fiction and creative non-fiction

A new, author-centred, literary publishing imprint, presenting the best of contemporary poetry, long- and short-form fiction and creative non-fiction.

Founded by an editor and practising writer, Mike Farren.

As an editor, I have been and remain part of the Yaffle Press team from that press's foundation in 2019. I have also worked on a wide variety of academic books and journals, and have held editorial roles for several other print publications and websites.

As a writer, I have had three poetry pamphlets published: Pierrot and his Mother (Templar), All of the Moons (Yaffle) and Smithereens (4Word). My poems have appeared in journals including The Rialto, Stand and The Interpreter’s House and in anthologies from Valley Press and The Poetry Business. I am also one of the hosts for two spoken-word nights, Rhubarb at the Triangle in Shipley and Beehive Poets in Bradford, West Yorkshire.
