Call for Applications: Dublin Small Press Fair 2025!

The inaugural Dublin Small Press Fair is taking place this November in Pearse Street Library! Me and my colleague Éireann Lorsung are excited to be organising the fair, with generous support from Dublin UNESCO City of Literature and Dublin City Council. 

The fair will celebrate small-scale publishing in Ireland as well as welcoming presses from abroad. We hope to foster connections among and across literary magazines, small publishers, writers, bookmakers, and others whose work intersects with writing, reading, small/independent publishing, and book arts. 

If you run a small press, please take a look at our website for more details, and please consider submitting before the deadline of July 1st! 

If you’re in any doubt about whether you fit the definition of a small press, or if you have any questions or thoughts you’d like to share, please get in touch (dublinsmallpressfair/a/gmail). We’re committed to supporting and showcasing a wide variety of presses and publishers of all sizes and approaches under the umbrella of ‘small.’ 

We’re looking forward to hearing from you, and to sharing more news as the event takes shape.
