The dictionary definition of the abbreviation V offers the following:

1. Our own definitions also include:

1. is for very. We publish work that is very very. This is not to say that we favour extreme art or experimental over mainstream. Nor do we adhere to one set tradition, theme, approach, fashion...or fad. Rather it means that we look for work that is distinctive, very itself. For the reader,

this translates as offering them an experience we hope will be very exciting, very moving, very impactful..every what they do and don't expect.
2. is for vivid - not vague.

3. is for the stereotypical ideogram of a bird in flight. One-dimensional or stereotypical art does not interest us. However, writing that evokes clear images does. As do words in metaphorical flight.

4. Yes, we know V is also a two-finger gesture...

5. We are also all in favour of healthy exercise.

6. Historically, V. is also for the five Vs, four of whom feature in the anthology The Vaginellas, which is the first book published by V. Press.

7. Finally, V. is for an as yet unpulled wishbone. In terms of our readers, we hope that V. Press books will be ones to wish for. In terms of our poets, we see our partnership with them in terms of marketing and promotion as resembling a wishbone. In practical terms, this means that though we think good writers should be able to spend the majority of their time creating rather than promoting, in reality this is a joint endeavour. We are too small to take on poets who never wish to leave their garret to do readings, talk to real people or actively help to sell their book. However, nor do we expect poets to do all their own marketing. The exact length of the two parts of this cracked wishbone will depend on a variety of factors and agreed on an individual poet and collection basis. PLEASE VISIT THE V.

“In this exhilarating poetic documentary, Alex Reed transports us to the ‘brightly hued reality’ of Butlin’s holiday camps with the All-Star Redcoats’ Show and the Lovely Legs competition. […] This startling mosaic of 49 passages numbered backwards will leave you interrogating your personal history – choices not taken, lives that might have been, and decisions yet to be played out.” Alexandra Corrin-Tachibana on Dreaming Backward by Alex Reed

“[…] A kaleidoscopic look at the past, Dreaming Backward is an enchantment – together all the vivid, intense parts create strange patterns, catching the light of memory. Reading it, reality shifts and we are taken by surprise, travelling in time, nearer the tumble and drift where we forget we live.”
Linda France on Dreaming Backward by Alex Reed

“This is what Butlin’s felt like for me. Expansive, free of the usual childhood worries, and sensing that maybe my future would be ok after all. More than ok, it could be great: a hormone-fuelled adventure, filled with fun, ci******es and alcohol, and maybe, just maybe, some sweet girl who might”

“Tell me your story – you million voices – running away, escaping the job in the factory, trouble at home, the town you came from. Tell me about dancing, discos, mini-skirts, mascara, Levi Strauss denim, ci******es, ci******es and ci******es. Tell me the taste of that first sip, Babycham, Harp lager, Merrydown cider, how you drank till the room started spinning.”
