Free consciousness lost; reason has slept

About Yellow House Publishing

Yellow House Publishing is an independent Direct-to-Reader publishing house based in Northern Ireland, connecting writers and readers through literature, storytelling, and cultural dialogue across Ireland and Britain.

Founded in 2022, we were established on a simple belief: writers should retain greater ownership of their creative work and build meaningful relationships with their readers. Our publishing model prioritises author autonomy, artistic integrity, and community over commercial trends, creating space for distinctive voices and original perspectives.

We publish poetry, fiction, life-writing, oral history, and literary non-fiction, with a particular commitment to working-class voices, overlooked histories, and the shared cultural traditions of these islands. Through our books, events, and partnerships, we seek to preserve cultural memory, encourage conversation, and create opportunities for diverse voices to be heard.

Our flagship anthology, New Isles Press, brings together emerging and established writers from across Ireland and Britain, while also providing a platform for minority language traditions including Irish, Ulster Scots, Scots Gaelic, Welsh, and Manx. Contributors have included acclaimed writers such as Dermot Bolger, Wendy Erskine, and National Poet of Wales Ifor ap Glyn alongside new and emerging authors.

Our growing catalogue includes Anything Strange or Startling by Tony Black and A Better Locksmith by Jane Coyle, a landmark collection documenting more than four decades of Northern Irish theatre and cultural life.

At Yellow House Publishing, we believe literature belongs to everyone. By bringing writers and readers closer together, we are helping to build a more open, diverse, and connected literary culture across the Island of Ireland and United Kingdom.
