About
Founded in 2017 by Marc Brüseke, Analog Submission Press is a guerrilla publisher born from Yorkshire’s creative heart. Rooted in punk rock ethics—not in spikes and mohawks, but in carving paths, questioning norms, and creating consciously—the press thrives on bold creativity and uncompromising authenticity.
We specialise in hand-crafted booklets of transgressive writing, offering a platform for voices at the fringes of the literary mainstream. These works, often taking the form of pamphlets, chapbooks, or zines, embody the best of the contemporary literary underground. Each publication is produced using a repurposed laser printer reclaimed from a local skip and is lovingly assembled by hand, reflecting our commitment to lo-fi, DIY values.
Our Ethos
Our ethos defines everything we do, from our selection of works to the way we create and distribute them:
- Immediacy: Writing that connects on a visceral, unfiltered level.
- Accessibility: Works that are affordable, thought-provoking, and inclusive.
- Sustainability: We use 100% recycled covers and FSC-certified paper interiors.
- Community Impact: 10% of profits support charities aiding marginalised communities.
Analog Submission Press isn’t just a publisher—it’s a statement. We embrace storytelling that provokes, inspires, and challenges the status quo, offering readers an experience that resonates long after the final page.
What We Publish
Our pamphlets, typically 20 pages, are designed for single-sitting reads that linger. In a digital age, these tactile artefacts are a reminder of literature’s raw, physical power. Every booklet:
- Showcases a writer’s unique voice and style.
- Introduces emergent and experimental writing.
- Celebrates the craft of storytelling as an intimate act.
Printed in limited runs of 25 to 200 hand-numbered copies, these booklets are as collectable as they are meaningful. Since releasing our first pamphlet in August 2017, we’ve published over 160 titles, ranging from poetry to prose, from the absurd to the profound.
Always Lo-Fi. Always DIY
At Analog Submission Press, imperfection isn’t a flaw—it’s a philosophy. Each booklet is hand-crafted: pages folded, trimmed, and stamped in limited, hand-numbered runs. The result is a collectable, meaningful artefact that embodies the raw beauty of independent literature. We believe in storytelling that’s immediate, tactile, and unapologetically human.
