HappenStance Press
HappenStance operates a subscription scheme to allow readers and prospective poets an insight into the press and how it works, as well as a regularly updated publisher's blog. The press is open to unsolicited submissions from UK poets writing in English or Scots, with subscribers additionally offered detailed feedback on work sent in. The press was winner of the Michael Marks Award for Poetry Pamphlet Publishing in 2010.
