Saraband

Outstanding and original writing from the British Isles

Saraband is an award-winning independent publisher of outstanding fiction, nature writing, environmental books, and compelling memoir and biographies.

Praised in the Guardian as “a small but brilliant independent press,” we publish authors with deep knowledge and incisive commentary on the culture, landscape, wildlife, folk traditions, and history wherever they live—including the 'In the Moment' collection. Our fiction includes literary, historical, and contemporary stories reflecting UK and international perspectives, all with unforgettable voices.

Founded in 1994, we’ve published authors who have been nominated for most of the UK’s most prestigious literary prizes—including the Booker Prize, Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing and Desmond Elliott Award for debut authors—as well as several international prizes.
