Armley Press

Armley Press is a small publishing house based in Armley, Leeds. It was set up by Mick McCann to publish his first novel Coming Out As A Bowie Fan In Leeds, Yorkshire, England and has since published Hot Knife by John Lake and Nailed – Digital Stalking McCann’s second novel.

The operation is based on a print on demand model and McCann describes its ethics as Punk Publishing and in opposition to the ‘major’ publishing houses.

I think publishers are more interested in Jordan's latest exercise regime, Jamie Oliver or C-list autobiographies than new talent......Punk publishing is independent. It's DIY, it's alternative and we're producing gritty, real-world stuff."
