Submissions are open until May 14th!

At Lemon Jelly Press, we are passionate about amplifying unheard voices and bringing humanity to the page. We seek work that is bold, strange, deeply human, and revelatory—writing that challenges perspectives, sparks connection, and lingers in the mind long after reading.

We are particularly drawn to stories and poetry that offer new ways of seeing the world, whether through an unconventional lens, an untold experience, or a fresh exploration of what it means to be human. We want to hear from writers whose work illuminates the overlooked, the in-between spaces, and the complexities of existence.

We are especially interested in hearing from writers who have experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) and those whose voices have been historically underrepresented in publishing. If your work carries truth, depth, and emotional resonance, we want to read it.

We know that getting your work ready for submission can be daunting, so we offer a manuscript feedback service to provide professional, constructive critiques to help you refine your writing. Prices start at £15, but we are committed to supporting all writers. If cost is a barrier, please get in touch—we may be able to offer support to ensure your voice is heard.
