Who we are
The Brodie Press is an independent, non-profit publisher staffed by volunteers. We publish new writers and established authors who wish to undertake experimental or unusual projects. The press is run by two editors, Hannah Sheppard and Tom Sperlinger.

About the Press
The Brodie Press began as a small student venture, set up by third-year undergraduates at the University of Liverpool in 2002. In that year, we published our first book, The Liver Bards, a collection of poetry and prose bridging the city and university communities. The book was sold throughout Liverpool, and was awarded the Miriam Allott prize for poetry. In 2003, we launched the Brodie Poets series, publishing four volumes, by Jane Davis, Ralph Pite, Julie-ann Rowell and Andrew Taylor. These books received praise from writers such as Andrea Ashworth, Roy Fisher and Les Murray; and Julie-ann Rowell's collection, Convergence, was awarded a prestigious Poetry Book Society Pamphlet Choice. In 2006 we published There are Avenues, a book-length poem by Peter Robinson about his home city of Liverpool. Our next book, to appear in 2007, is a new full-length collection by Julie-ann Rowell.

Submissions
We are not currently accepting any submissions for new books, or submissions for anthologies.

Regional links and events
The Brodie Press is based in Bristol and maintains strong links with Liverpool. Through our events programme, we support reading and literature events in these cities and work closely with organisations that encourage access to adult education.
