[hot pencil> press is an independent not-for-profit UK publishing house founded in 2010 by Laura Bridgeman and Serge Nicholson to promote high-quality, unique, contemporary, and re-visited works largely ignored by the mainstream.

Sometimes our publications are self-generated, and at other times independent writers and artists approach us.

We encourage work that is challenging, fresh and tells new stories.
