Chuffed Buff Books

Chuffed Buff Books is a new independent publisher. Based in the UK, we publish international fiction and non-fiction. We are passionate about books and their creators and are especially keen to work with new writers and those who consider their work to fall outside of mainstream publishing. Committed to finding a fresh and diverse range of work for our collections, we are looking for original short fiction that crosses genres, pushes boundaries and, above all else, moves the reader. The best stories stick with us, haunting us forever.

We are also seeking well-researched non-fiction pieces on historical subjects—all periods considered but please note the editor has a particular penchant for mediaeval, Byzantine and late antique topics. Material should focus on an under-explored area, or offer a new perspective on a well-known subject. Future non-fiction titles are also likely to include topics such as travel, and health and well-being. A more specific call for non-fiction work will be made early 2013. In the meantime, if you are interested in submitting non-fiction work, please query first by emailing a brief synopsis of your subject and a description of how your submission would fit within a larger body of work.

For fiction and poetry submissions, please visit our submissions page for guidelines and further details on current projects and themes.

Although small, Chuffed Buff Books is bursting with enthusiasm. Excited by digital and print-on-demand technologies, we publish both paperback and eBook editions. As a forward thinking start-up publisher, we believe this strategy offers a financially viable and environmentally friendly model. Printing books only as required saves costs, eliminates storage needs and ensures that our titles never go out of print. This allows us to direct our resources towards securing great content for our collections. Chuffed Buff Books pays writers, upon publication, for their work. (We are not a vanity press and writers will never be asked for any form of payment or reading fees.)

Chuffed Buff Books is dedicated to the creation of exceptional and memorable literature.

Fresh. Diverse. Haunting.
