the first short prose prize winner is now live!

this is glut

Welcome to Glut Press. We are a literary journal based in the UK, publishing fiction, creative non-fiction and poetry. We love work that feels ambitious, pushes boundaries and delights in a strong expressionistic instinct. We look for work that fills us up and leaves us wanting more.​

 

Hope you're hungry. ​

editions

submissions

We publish editions made up of poetry, prose and non-fiction.

 

The exact make-up of any given edition depends on the submissions we receive. We might have an edition that is made up entirely of poetry, or entirely or prose, for example.

 

We are not prescriptive about genre or prose style in terms of fiction. In non-fiction, we primarily publish essays and creative nonfiction. But we're interested to taste all flavours: if it doesn't fit elsewhere, it might fit here.​

 

General submissions are currently closed.
