about us
the red ceilings press
Limited edition poetry chapbooks, free poetry ebooks and blog.
Welcome to the Red Ceilings Press where we publish contemporary poetry in the form of limited edition chapbooks and free ebooks.
The Red Ceilings originally started out as a poetry blog for both new and established contemporary poets and quickly expanded into publishing an ebook series of online and downloadable booklets. We have now started our latest venture - a series of limited edition A6 pocket sized chapbooks.
submissions
The Red Ceilings Press are now accepting new work.
We welcome submissions for our ebook series, chapbooks and blog. We like innovative, experimental and avant-garde poetry in particular.
In general we tend to use the ebook series to publish world poets and the chapbooks to show UK poets. Translations are very welcome.
Send your submissions to theredceilings@gmail.com in either rtf or doc format, or if submitting for the blog then in the body of an email will do.
blog & ebooks
New voices to the blog are most welcome but please don't submit more than 5 poems.
The ebooks, because of their nature, can be of any length, but poetry only please.
chapbooks
There will be 30 numbered copies of each.
The chapbooks are in A6 format so please consider this when sending poems of longer line length. We don't want to set your fine work at 6pt.
If accepted we will ask you to take a minimum of 10 copies of the book at a reduced price (along with a complimentary copy) to help us to continue publishing.
Ebook & chapbook poets should preferably have a previous publication history. So, please mention where your work has appeared in your submission email and also provide a brief biography.

Paul Sutton
was born in London, in 1964. He graduated from Jesus College, Oxford, worked in industry until 2004, then left to travel; he now teaches English in a secondary school. His work has been widely published in UK and US journals.
The collection Broadsheet Asphyxia (Original Plus, 2003) explores instability, corruption and repulsion, using twisted narrative voices.
His pamphlet The Chronicles of Dave Turnip (Original Plus, 2009) conflates poetic and other fragmentation, using parodied self-mythologizing of crime. This sequence concludes the 2010 collection Brains Scream at Night (from US press, BlazeVox).
His most recent British collection is Cabin Fever (The Knives Forks and Spoons Press, 2012).
Two longer sequences of polemical work are available in a Salt anthology of poetry manifestos, Troubles Swapped for Something Fresh (2009). A set of narrative poems feature in Rupert Loydell’s 2011 anthology Smartarse (The Knives, Forks and Spoons Press). A collaborative filmic sequence Voiceover is also available from The Knives, Forks and Spoons Press (2011).
Previous publications from The Red Ceilings Press are the hit e-book Indigo Not Violet and the chapbook Gemstones, both published in 2011.
