Walkden House Press is an independent publisher of literary, educational, and cultural work.
Founded in Bedfordshire, the press grew from a belief in literature as something lived as well as written — something that can make room for individual voices, bring people into relation, and become part of the cultural life of a place.
Its publications and projects are shaped by that belief: taking writing seriously without removing it from the people, places, and circumstances from which it comes.
Current work includes The Parlour, a literary magazine bringing together writers of different ages and backgrounds, and Common Room, an initiative inviting schools and young writers into collaborative publishing.
As the press develops, it hopes to make room for a wider range of literary work, while retaining the openness and sense of connection from which it began.
