Blue Mark Books
Our Philosophy
Great Books can be long, they can be short, they can be part of a series or not. Great Books sometimes fit neatly into a genre, but often do not. Great Books are different. Whatever form they take, we aim to publish Great Books.
An update on Submissions
Thank you to everyone who has submitted their work to us. Reading new and original prose is a joy but it does take time! We have an awful lot to read and have therefore decided to suspend new submissions until we've read what you have already submitted. Keep an eye on the submissions page for more.

All The Little Places
by Sophie Shillito - out 7 May 2020
A poetic-prose tapestry of fairytale fragments, alive with spirit of place...
(lo%20res)(328x492).jpg?crc=3902077300)
Told with hawk's eye observation and acute attention to detail, All The Little Places takes a train ride from the rural village, through the dark and mysterious wood, past the ancient chalk pit and the dead lying in the cemetery, over the salty river and into the city.
Curious scraps are stitched together in a poetic-prose tapestry of hints and glimpses seen through the window. A shuffled carousel of vignettes is described with haunting imagery; secrets hidden in the passing landscape are revealed in exquisite detail and strangeness is captivatingly woven through these fairytale fragments which are alive with spirit of place.
