Fly on the Wall Press is at the front of innovation in the North of England. Get the real story on how we operate, our industry insights, and how we work with authors (spoiler: it's more fun than you'd think). We pride ourselves on political, sustainable and ethical books, and we're here to demystify the publishing industry while inspiring writers to get published.

You'll get exclusive discounts, first looks at our books, and Friday emails that don't waste your time.

What We Do

Based in Manchester, we publish political fiction, poetry, and anthologies that spark conversation. Feminist voices, dark humour, and stories with something to say.

The Track Record

Four-time finalist for British Book Awards' Small Press of the Year and the winner in the North in 2024! We also won a 2024 Manchester Culture Award. Our books have won recognition from The Sky Arts Award, The Laurel Prize, The Julie Suk Award, the Saboteur Awards, and the Edge Hill Prize.

More Than Just Books

Since 2018, we've been mixing literature with activism. Our anthologies raise money for charities and start conversations about important issues. We work with Mind, Shelter, Crisis Aid UK, WWF, The Climate Coalition, Street Child United, and Invest in ME - because books should do more than just sit on shelves.
