Welcome to the home page of The Maia Press, a small independent publishing house.
Over the past six years we have developed a reputation for producing high-quality fiction.
Four of our novels published so far have been longlisted, shortlisted, or been the winner of major literary prizes,
and most of our thirty titles have received favourable reviews in the broadsheet newspapers and
literary magazines.
Maia authors have taken part in many literary festivals across the country,
including the
Edinburgh Festival,
Ways With Words at Keswick and Dartington, the
Spitalfields Literary Festival,
the
Wigtown Book Festival, the
Ilkley Festival and the
Hackney Word Festival.
