About Postcard Press

Postcard Press is a small, independent publisher based in London. We publish short stories and essays in compact postcard-sized editions that can be sent in the post. We’re highly selective about who we publish; our authors count among themselves one Nobel prize and three Pulitzer Prizes, amongst other awards.

Founded in 2021, our books have since undergone some design changes, but the overall mission remains the same: beautifully made, compact editions that are as great to share as they are to read. Originally portrait books, we now publish in a landscape 4″x6″ format, with the text laid out in two columns for ease of reading.

The design takes inspiration from the Armed Services Editions distributed during World War II. These were selected by a team of librarians and publishers to provide entertainment to soldiers.
