Latest Issue
Prole 16 is now available from our website. It is packed with first rate fiction and poetry.

Other publications
In Caboodle, we’ve put together six short poetry collections into one publication. We’ve had two very successful launches: Sheffield and London and great reviews of the collection are starting to come in. We may be partisan, but it is excellent.
Wendy Pratt’s Museum Pieces is also making waves and bringing a very talented writer to a wider audience. Wendy is certainly a writer to look out for.
Both Caboodle and Museum Pieces are available from our website.
The Devil’s Tattoo is Brett Evans’ first pamphlet. As we don’t publish our own scribblings, Brett went through the editorial process with Indigo Dreams http://www.indigodreamsbookshop.com/#/brett-evans/4588677100 where The Devil’s Tattoo can be purchased. If you like Prole, you’ll love this. If you’d like a signed copy – contact Brett at this email address.
