Luna Press Publishing™ is an independent UK press, formed in 2015 by author Francesca T. Barbini. Its focus is Science Fiction, Fantasy and Dark Fantasy – in both fiction and academic form. Luna Press Publishing™ brings together talented Sci-fi and Fantasy authors, artists and academics, to publish works and connect those works with their audience. Fiction projects will often cross media formats; many are collaborations between writers and illustrators and using exhibitions and other forms of showcasing.
Luna Press Publishing™ has close associations with the Tolkien Society https://www.tolkiensociety.org/ and publishes "The Return of the Ring - Proceedings"; the scholarly papers from the Return of the Ring conferences run by the Tolkien Society in celebration of the author[1].
Luna Press can be found in the Artists and Writers Handbook 2017[2]. Academia Lunare is the non-fiction arm of Luna Press Publishing™, specifically for the critical exploration of fantasy and science fiction.
