We would like to be surprised and delighted by a pamphlet sized collection we didn't see coming.

Our back catalogue is variedly comprehensive, personal and political, local and universal. We include illustration in some of our pamphlets. The pamphlets we publish have a coherence, although not necessarily a theme.

We are looking to publish an authentic voice which knocks our socks off - and if you have ideas about how your work might be illustrated, that's also good (though not essential).

Please send us between 20 and 25 pages of your best work in PDF or Word format to:
[email protected]

The window will be from 1st to the 14th September 2025.

We can't wait to read your work.

Matthew Caley’s ‘The Sealed Well’ is now also, alongside every sparkling Blueprint title, available to buy from The Poetry Book Society. Shout out to PBS sterling tradition and all they do for this genre we love.

Matthew Caley has seven collections (mostly Bloodaxe), and a previous pamphlet with Blueprint, Prophecy is Easy (2023), in which poems from the French Modernists/Surrealists acted as a starting point.
