Founded by Malcolm Gluck, creator of The Guardian’s legendary Superplonk column, Glassfull Press exists for bold, original stories that break the rules.
We’re launching four novels in 2026 and looking for writers with distinctive voices, unusual ideas, and fiction that doesn’t quite belong anywhere else.
If your story defies category, it might belong here.
If you can’t trust your senses, what’s left to believe?
He sold the world its desires until he discovered what lies beyond them.
When everything has a price, what happens when nothing has value?

The Glassfull Press is open to completed fiction manuscripts from writers with something original to say.
We are looking for novels with a strong voice, unusual perspective and genuine character, especially work that has been called too different, hard to place or difficult to categorise.
Send us your synopsis, the first three chapters or up to 10,000 words, and a short author biography.
Some stories do not sit comfortably inside the system, and those may be exactly the ones we want to read.
