The IRON Book of New Humorous Verse - IRON Press is looking for new funny poems on any theme to include in an anthology of new comic verse by and for grown ups. We'll be looking in recent collections, poetry magazines and other sources and we are also inviting submissions. Successful poets will receive a small payment, a copy of the book and the opportunity to read at launch events, but no prizes - this isn't a competition.

Submissions for the anthology by post only - click here for submission guidelines and address.

Readers' Groups - IRON Press is keen to promote reading. We can offer you good discounts on bulk ordering of any of our titles for your readers' groups. We may also be able to put you in touch with the writers if you'd like them to visit your group - do remember that writers need to live and eat, don't expect them to do readings/workshops for nothing. Your regional arts boards may be able to help you with funding information for writer's events

Readers and Writers - IRON Press itself can do events for readers and writers. We can offer a bookstall, a talk on Getting Published or How Small Presses Work or Poetry or Haiku or Getting Started in Writing, as well as readings. For more details e-mail us on ironpress@blueyonder.co.uk

Submissions - No unsolicited submissions please. We are a small press, and able to accept only a small number of new books. We do not publish novels. Our range is poetry, (including haiku), collections of short stories, and anthologies of verse and prose. If you think you have something that might interest us, firstly email us with brief details. Thanks!
