Submissions window to open in December 2024



Parthian will be open to submissions for ten days from Sunday December 1st until midday on Tuesday December 10th, reading for our 2026/27 list.

What we are looking for: novels, short story collections, creative non-fiction, and poetry.

What we are not looking for: YA / children's fiction.

Please familiarise yourself with our list and consider whether your writing is a good fit.

Our director, Richard Davies, says: "We're looking for gems in this submission window. Outstanding titles that we simply can't resist. We only have a small number of spaces on our future publishing schedule so send us your best work."

Please send submissions and any queries, when the submission window is open, to our dedicated email address: parthiansubmissions@gmail.com

Also consider both writing competitions in the New Welsh Writing Awards, (closing 31/1/25): The Rheidol Prize: For Prose with Welsh Theme or Setting and The Borzello Trust Poetry Prize. The winning writers of both competitions will be in development with Parthian editors working towards publication. For full details please visit the competition pages over on NewWelshReview.com.

Please read the information on the FAQ page of our website regarding submissions, and follow the guidelines.

We will try to respond to all submissions within twelve weeks but please bear in mind that we are a small team with lots of other duties.

Get in touch with our publishing manager, Carly, on carlyparthian@gmail.com if you have any questions that our FAQ page hasn't answered for you.

Happy writing!

Birthday Treat 2: London for Sierra Ferrell & Nina Hamnett

We had a wonderful trip to London to see the magical unmatchable talent that is Sierra Ferrell in Kentish Town and I also ran off for a sneak peak at Nina Hamnett's wonderful new green room at Tate Britain, getting there early (as the doors opened), I had the room and Nina all to myself. I've long had a fascination with Nina, and my poetry on her has been published in Poetry Wales  and been read at events with Celine's Soho Salon at Tenby Museum and Art Gallery.  I also featured her in a tour organised with Literature Wales in London many years ago now... and I am currently working on a longer project featuring Nina, her art and her life. The sea, the sea, the sea Is such a salty, magic place If you find yourself goin' under You'll remember the taste The waves, the waves, the waves How they're puttin' out my flame Woah, that's okay, I should be more tame

The New Elysium is Open!

It was an absolute joy to be in Swansea for the opening of the new Elysium Gallery art centre in the city centre, I'm so proud of Jon and Dan and the team who have all worked so hard on this, and over the preceding years and many, many venues...  It was lovely to see friends old and new there and nose around the open studios. Do go along and use the cafe, go to events, see the shows... I will be getting involved with some literary things there in the future too... Andre Stitt – Estateless continues at the new space on Belle Vue Way. Music continues at the old venue, now called Down by Here but still programmed by Scott, who is putting on some class acts.
