The Gentlemen Press

Posted on | October 6, 2011 | No Comments

We’re delighted to say that our Demon Crew graudate, Kim Redway, has been hard at work setting up The Gentleman Press, a new publishing house for young adult fiction. And there’s still time to enter their opening competition. Here’s the low-down from their website:

The Gentlemen Press is an independent publisher based in Birmingham, West Midlands, which concentrates on new and emerging young adult fiction. To establish the publisher, a competition for young adults aged 13-21 will run from 12th September to 31st October 2011. Twelve winners will have their short story printed in an anthology.

The title of the anthology is Objection To Perfection and encourages entrants to write in any genre. There is a minimum word count of 500 and a maximum of 2,000. The competition is open to those living in the West Midlands.

There are three categories in this competition. 13-15, which will be judged by Jean Ure. 16-18 which will be judged by Nine Arches and 19-21 which will be judged by David Belbin. The results of the competition will be announced on the 30th November 2011. The book launch will take place in December on the Book Barge, an independent bookshop.
