Strange, dark fiction at the intersection of genres

“Have you no ambition to be rich?” I asked, smiling.
“My one ambition is to be the best armourer in the world,” he answered
gravely.”

– Robert W. Chambers, The Repairer of Reputations

Mind over Machine

Only humans, no AI – at every stage of the journey. Hawberk Press champions human creativity and stories which have been crafted by an author’s skill.

Fair Rewards

We believe in paying authors and contributors fairly and sustainably – always within our means, but always as well as we can.

Long-term Author Support

Authors are the heart of any publisher, and we are committed to a relationship with all our authors long beyond the first few weeks after their story is published.

Digital-first

While we will be investing in different formats from audio-drama to beautiful physical books, our payment structure focuses on eBooks first for initial release.
