We have been working with Stephen Devereux over the past few months to publish his debut poetry collection RIP CURRENT. This is what Finuala Dowling has to say about the collection: 'This is a dazzling combination of wit, imagination, and emotional impact – the work of an extraordinary mind.'

An exciting part of the publishing journey is receiving book proofs of the book you are working on – it all, finally, becomes real. KEEP CALM & BOLLOCKS ON is almost at the final printing stage. The book looks as delicious outside and inside as it has done throughout the design process.

Glitter, a banana, a toddler and a blender...what could go wrong? We are delighted to share the cover of KEEP CALM & BOLLOCKS ON by Liezl Stylo. A sharp, funny, deeply honest exploration of modern womanhood, motherhood, burnout, rage, gut health, capitalism, intimacy & the quiet rebellion of rest.

Sheryl is a university graduate with a BA. She is cerebral palsied, passionate about sport, animals & the bush. Her mother, Sandy, spent thirty years as a school principal & educator. UNBRIDLING arose from the journals that Sheryl and her mom penned as each of them experienced her own ‘unbridling’.
