New Voices Press is the chief imprint and publishing arm of the Federation of Writers (Scotland). We publish selected poetry and prose (by FWS members only) as anthologies and solo collections in the form of pamphlets, chapbooks and full-length books. We seek to bring as many authors as possible into print, but all works are subject to rigorous selection on merit. A full document of the New Voices Press publication policy and guidelines for submissions can be downloaded as a PDF here or may be obtained in the same format on request from either of the email addresses below.

NVP publishes about 4 titles a year, including at least one general anthology open to submissions from all FWS members and an invited collection by the incumbent FWS Makar. Currently available titles are given in the Publications section.
