AN INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING COMPANY DEDICATED TO PUBLISHING QUALITY FICTION
We publish a range of books from post-apocalyptic horror and science-fiction novels to fantasy novels and almost everything in between. Our main focus is to bring unique and interesting stories that excite and intrigue our readers.
Penrose Press places a high value on quality editing. We work closely with all of our authors to ensure high-quality publications that we will both be proud to put our names on.
Our independent publishing status allows us the freedom to take risks and invest heavily in the writers whose work we really believe in. We encourage our authors to take risks and write outside of the traditional literary box. If you are not sure if there is a place in the market for your story or you are not sure if it is something that most people will agree with, then it may be the perfect project for us.
We publish bold, diverse and distinctive new writing in a variety of genres. Novellas and novels are at our core but with a recent push into short stories, we have found numerous authors that have a unique style and a style that encompasses the Penrose Press brand.
Our short story compilation is a fantastic way to get your work published to a large reader base and potentially gain a lot of new fans.
If you are an author, new or established, looking for a publisher that focuses on unique short stories, novellas, and novels, we welcome you to submit your manuscript to Penrose Press.
More information can be found on our submissions page.

We conisder fiction submissions in a range of formats – short-story, novella and novel. Our 2020 anthology of short stories is growing in popularity so be sure to submit your story in good time.
Short-Stories
A short story is fictional work ranging from 1,000 to 7,500 words. It is a great way to practice your craft and it is a great way for new readers to find your work. Allan Poe, in his essay “The Philosophy of Composition,” said a short story should take between 30 minutes to 2 hours to read.
Novellas
We are publishing several novellas in the first quarter of 2020 in the science-fiction and horror genres. We have found novellas to work very well with new authors who are looking to expand on their short story work. Novellas sit between short stories and novels, usually around 30,000 to 50,000 words.
Novels
At the heart of Penrose Press lie our novels which are a minimum of 50,000 words. We publish a range of novels in various genres and we are constantly looking to find new authors to work with. If you are looking for a publisher to submit your work to then why not visit our submissions page.
