About Malago Press

Malago Press was founded by writers’ group Just Write Bristol, a collective of authors based in the South West. We write variously in the genres of crime, historical, speculative and literary fiction.

Our members are at different stages in their careers and many are published traditionally with ‘big five’ publishers or with indie presses. With a body of quality work and talent between us, we decided we would like to have a say in the direction our publishing takes, and have set up Malago Press to be a responsive, elegant and imaginative channel between creators and readers.

The Malago is a hidden river, always flowing beneath Bristol’s streets.
