Help Dagda Publishing support new and emerging writers; support its new crowdfunding campaign.
From Dagda: [We’re a new small, independent, publishing house based in Nottingham in the UK. We started as a poetry blog in 2012, publishing close to 280 poems since we started, and recently we expanded into a publishing house with the help of some generous contributors through our previous crowdfunding campaign. This year we have published 4 anthologies of poetry, 2 collections of poetry by new writers, and a collection of short fiction. Also, soon, we have our first novels by new writers coming out.
Our ethos from the start of this adventure in publishing has always been that we will help nurture new writing talent by actively seeking it out, and giving a chance to writers who may otherwise find it difficult to get their work off the ground and into the public eye.
In an industry where new writers are feeling increasingly isolated from major publishers, and self-publishing is not for every writer, we feel that there has to be a middle ground wherein new writers who want to choose traditional publishing as an outlet for their artistic vision can do so, without having to expend more time and energy (or money) than they can spare. That’s where we, and other independent publishers come in.
Our passion for literature is in everything we do. We think that there are some undiscovered gems out there in the desert of literature, and we’re determined to find and nurture it. However, passion isn’t enough, we also need to have the funds to do more for our writers. This is where you come in.]
