Polari Press
Taking their name from the secret gay slang Polari, popular in the mid-1900s, Polari Press is an independent publishing house that seeks out hidden voices and helps them be heard. Although Polari was spoken predominantly by gay and bisexual men, the nature of clandestine meetings of the era when homosexuality was still criminalised, brought together people from all walks of life who all had an influence on the language. Cockney, Romany, and Italian languages mixed with the colloquialisms of thespians, circus performers, wrestlers, sailors, and wider criminal communities to create a slang to express their sexuality secretly and safely. Inspired by these origins, they publish queer and marginalised voices, to share a diverse range of queer perspectives.

David Lee Morgan
My friend, Jason Why, of South London Poetry books has organised a MultiCulture Book fair at the ever-cool Conway Hall for Saturday, Sept 14, 2024.
Tables are cheap and a great way to promote your publications – and support a vibrant spoken word poetry scene. (cc’d Jason so you can contact him directly).
I’m taking out a full table for my new publishing enterprise, Bidrohi Books, but would gladly share the table with any of you.

Osmosis Press
Osmosis Press was established in early 2021 with an aim to muddy the boundaries between categorisations of contemporary writing practice. We publish work that resists the definition of poetry, novel, short story, non-fiction, memoir, and everything in-between. We publish poetry that does not map onto the expectations of what poetry can be. We publish fiction that reconsiders the possibilities of prose – or resists prose entirely. We believe non-fiction can take any form.
