The Braag

The Braag CIC (est. 2020) is a poetry and speculative fiction press that publishes the best in weird. It also supports underrepresented writers in the North East. We publish two poetry pamphlets and one fiction book a year, as well as handmade limited edition books that feature 9-12 pages of poetry or fiction. We also run the online micro-journal Carmen et Error.

We’re named after the County Durham shapeshifting trickster figure, the braag, who appears variously as a horse, a cow, a naked headless man, and four men under a sheet.

We are queer and disabled-run, with a focus on producing beautiful things sustainably and responsibly.
