Tangerine Press has been publishing misfits, mavericks and misanthropes since 2006. We put out titles in numerous formats: handbound, hardcover, limited editions; handsewn chapbooks; broadsides; art prints and occasional ephemera, as well as more readily available trade paperbacks where possible.

Imprints and side projects include Tangerine Graphic Arts (artists books); Sick Fly Publications (chapbook series); Rogue Editions (unexpected variants) and 10,000 Productions (record label). We have been known to dabble in 1970s pornography and the occasional bookburning too.

Tangerine champions work by authors who often exist on the fringes of society.

Previous publications include definitive poetry collections by cult US poet William Wantling (1933-74) and artist-musician-writer Billy Childish, as well as prose by 1994 Booker winner James Kelman. In 2014 Tangerine co-published, with L-13 Light Industrial Workshop, a new edition of Jack London’s The People of the Abyss, with an introduction by Iain Sinclair. Photobooks include Seeing Richard, a selection of mostly unpublished images of the author Richard Brautigan by Erik Weber, with an introduction by William Hjortsberg (Jubilee Hitchhiker, Angel Heart) and foreword by Jarvis Cocker.
