About Parthian

We are based in Cardigan/Aberteifi on the west coast of Wales and publish many of the younger generation of Welsh writers such as Lloyd Robson, Rachel Trezise and Matthew David Scott. But while what we publish reflects a diverse contemporary Wales it is also based around stories and perspectives from writers who are looking out or write about a wider world. Lloyd Robson is currently researching a book about Robert Mitchum, we have just published Roger Williams's play Mother Tongue about minority world languages and George Brinley Evans's evocative memoir Where the Flying Fishes Play recounts his journey as a young man from Banwen in the Welsh coalfields to the rivers of Burma in the Second World War.

Carnival of Voices

We produce an innovative range of new fiction, poetry and drama, reflected in forthcoming books which include a Basque anthology of short stories, a novel from the leading Catalan writer Jordi Coca called Under The Dust, an engaging coming of age story Fever by the Paris based Irish writer Gerry Feehily, a groundbreaking Welsh language novel Martha, Jac and Sianco by Caryl Lewis and the captivating The Long Dry by Cynan Jones.
 
Within this we feel the carnival of voices has a story and we are always interested in a good story.

As an independent publisher in the best sense of the word, our aims of quality writing produced to the highest standards have enabled us to develop a national profile. We aim to keep our writers and readers in touch with our ideas and developments through personal contact, direct mailing and a continual series of writer and reader events.
