About

---

Seren is an independent literary publisher, specialising in English-language writing from Wales. Our diverse and eclectic list has something to offer anyone with an interest in excellent writing. Our aim is not simply to reflect what is going on in the culture in which we publish, but to drive that culture forward, to engage with the world, and to bring Welsh literature, art and politics before a wider audience.

Over its twenty-five year existence Seren has developed into one of the most interesting publishing houses in Britain. Based in Wales and aiming primarily to give voice to outstanding writing in the English language from Wales, Seren continues to nurture and publish new talent whose quality is recognized around the world.

We have diversified from our initial poetry titles into fiction, drama, biography, literary criticism, art, photography, current affairs, history, sport and translation. Seren supports no single style or clique: the breadth of our list is apparent from this site and we hope that you enjoy browsing the variety of writers and writing on it. Multi-national conglomerates increasingly dominate the publishing but the success of our authors in the bookshops and on prize shortlists show that independent houses have a vital role in maintaining a dynamic literary scene.

Seren works with the financial support of the Welsh Books Council.
