Bandstand Books

Hello there, and welcome to Bandstand Books.

At Bandstand Books, we believe great ideas shouldn't stay hidden in hard drives or forgotten in notebooks. From powerful essays and short stories, to tomes on ancient history and fantasy novels, we publish the best work by students and aspiring authors across the UK and beyond.

We know how hard it can be to get your work published, and we are here to give you the recognition you deserve — giving young people a real platform to share their work with readers who care.

Whether you're a history undergraduate with a groundbreaking take on empire, a medical student writing speculative fiction in between placements, or you just happen to have a knack for lyrical essays, your work deserves to be read.
