The UKA Press
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The UKA Press is an independent small publisher based in the United Kingdom.
Since its launch in January 2004, it has published poetry, novels, short story collections and nonfiction titles. Formerly a joint venture between the UKAuthors.com writing community and Bluechrome Publishing, The UKA Press is now independent and publishes its own list.
The UKA Press [2] state that their aim is to "focus on the appealing qualities and significance of a project, as well as the literary and artistic merits of the writing, rather than immediate commercial potential." The UKA Press is partly funded by voluntary subscriptions.
