Dawson Press is an independent publisher based in Madrid, with a continuing connection to Dublin. We publish original fiction across genres, choosing each book for its voice, storytelling and the experience it offers readers. We believe a compelling novel can be literary, gripping, intimate, adventurous—or something that resists easy classification.
Our books are written originally in English. Each title is developed around its own voice, identity and audience.
