At The Broken Spine, collaboration and community have always been at the heart of what we do. We believe in uplifting fellow independent presses, writers, and artists, creating spaces that allow our collective voices to resonate louder. In this spirit, we’re thrilled to announce an exciting new initiative!
We’re building a comprehensive directory featuring talented writers, artists, and a regularly updated listing of submission opportunities from independent presses across mediums such as poetry, fiction, competitions, residencies, workshops, and more.
For the modest price of just £3—the cost of a coffee—you can advertise your submission windows directly on our website. Each featured press will receive a prominent backlink (excluding Meta and X), connecting writers and artists directly with your opportunities. Listings will be updated monthly to ensure our directory stays vibrant and relevant.
To join us in this collaborative effort, simply fill out our straightforward Google Form with your details and submission information. It’s quick, easy, and helps support the independent publishing community we all cherish.
Together, let’s build a stronger, more connected literary landscape.
