Varnish – Issue 1

Available online now! Buy it here.

Aching, obsessive, adrift – containing thirteen works of exceptional written art, Varnish Issue 1 is the natural extension of our mission.  

Printing on paper remains the most effective medium for deep emotional and intellectual connection with written art; literature you can hold.

We believe (almost) all bookstores are ‘good’, but you can only find Issue 1 in a selection of our favourites listed below.

FICTION: Oscar Revelins, Sarah Uheida, Zay Amsbury, Hope Loveday, Edmario Lesi, John Saul.

ESSAYS: Tom Wade, George Salis.

POETRY: Stuart Cooke, Duc Van Khanh Tran, Megan Alpert, Svetlana Sterlin.

INTERVIEW: Patrick Marlborough.
