Arrowhead Press

Arrowhead Press publishes books and pamphlets of contemporary poetry.

Our main aim is to provide a platform for poets to cross the difficult gap between magazine publication and first pamphlet or full collection, this does not however preclude publication of more established authors. In 2004 we were delighted to be mentioned by David Morley in a Guardian article as one of the new presses worth watching.

New Hardback Books for 2008/9
Since 2008 most of our full-length titles are Hardbacks and because of savings made by changing our printers are available at near paperback prices.

Following an upgrade to our website, we are able to take online orders for books, which you can pay for with your credit or debit card. Payments are handled by PayPal, but you do not need a PayPal account to pay in this way. We can also ship your purchases worldwide.
