Bathwick Hill is a small independent publisher based in Bath, dedicated to bringing unique and compelling stories to readers. We specialize in historical fiction, weird fiction, science fiction, and creative crime novels that challenge expectations and celebrate original storytelling. Discover books that inspire curiosity, imagination, and unforgettable reading experiences.
Our vision is simple: to publish art, not algorithms. We are not driven by market research or fleeting trends. Instead, we work alongside our writers as a creative cooperative — championing bold voices, trusting their instincts, and bringing stories to life because they matter, not just because they fit a category. We believe publishing should be a partnership, not a pipeline.
