Worple Press was founded in 1997 and is co-directed by Peter and Amanda Carpenter.

Our list is dominated by collections of poetry, but we also produce arts titles.

We like to showcase new writing and we welcome diversity of format and approach ( anthologies, translations, interviews, dictionaries ).

Above all, we look for excellence.

Some of our authors are justly world famous: Iain Sinclair, Elizabeth Cook, Clive Wilmer and Kevin Jackson, for example.

We have an established reputation for high quality publication standards:
Worple aims to produce books that are a pleasure to handle as well as to read.

We have an international outlook : Worple publishes writers based in Japan, France, the USA and Ireland as well as from the UK.

We acknowledge previous funding assistance from Arts Ireland and the Arts Council and have worked with the Arvon Foundation and the Jerwood Trust.
