Who we are
We’re not a normal publisher. None of our titles are available in print, and we don’t make any money apart from through voluntary donations. All our authors’ work is available to read, download or listen to on this site.
What we publish at the moment
Poetry collections
Humour
Audio material - poetry and music
What we plan to publish in the future
Fiction – short story collections, novels and novellas.
Nonfiction – humour / anything else that grabs our attention.
Reissues – i.e. books by Philistine-friendly authors that are no longer available in print.
Audiobooks and performance poetry albums.
What we’re all about
We’re here to publish material that wouldn’t ordinarily be published by mainstream presses, or accepted by the literary establishment. There are many adjectives we could use to describe ourselves – original, experimental, uncompromising – but the best way to understand Philistine Press is to read our work.
Philistine Press is the creation of the author and literary Jack-the-lad-of-all-trades, Frank Burton. To find out more about Frank and his work, please visit www.frankburton.co.uk.
