Dunlin Press is a self-funded enterprise, with each project paying for the production of the next. This makes us artistically free and not bound by commercial concerns. It also means that we choose our projects carefully and publish, on average, around a book a year. 

We see each of our projects as art documents and contemporary artefacts. With this in mind we like to go beyond the boundaries of book publishing with many of our projects incorporating music, installation, painting and film.  

We celebrate our books as special objects and like to bring something out of the ordinary to each one. We embrace and encourage experimental writing and are playful in our approach to each project.

You can see our full range of publications at our Big Cartel shop.
