About LinenPress

Linen Press is crafted writing.

As a writer myself, I know only too well the hopes and disappointments felt by women trying to get their writing published. If you are not a household name, nor a member of the literati in-crowd, nor have a foot in the door of the publishing conglomerates, then it’s going to be a rough ride. If you are middle-aged and not exceptionally photogenic…how dare you try to break into today’s youth and celeb dominated book market?

Do not despair. I read all submissions and look favourably on those that would be chucked aside by the big guys. Once I accept your manuscript for publication, my approach is ‘hands on’; I work closely with my authors from manuscript to finished book, involving you in all decisions from editing to book cover.

About Lynn…

I am a writer myself with 13 published books including a writing scheme for schools. I know only too well the hopes and disappointments felt by women trying to get their writing published.

For the past few years I have been writing fiction and am currently sending out to agents and publishers the synopses of my own two novels. And yes, I have some standard rejection letters already. Writing and working with writers is like a feedback loop because I am learning and teaching at the same time. I practice what I preach. You can view my publications and reviews here:

LYNN’S CV AND PUBLICATIONS

“I wish to thank my editor, Lynn Michell, for her courage and commitment to hidden women’s voices which all too often occupy the margins of reality and struggle to access the world of publishing.”
