Derwent Howden Publishing

Derwent Howden Publishing specialises in print editions of theatrical works of drama and musicals, and books of poetry and short stories.

We are a young company with an exciting future.  We have a lot of new material in development.  As a proactive publisher we approach writers for submissions.

For stage plays and musicals, it is unlikely we would published an unproduced work unless we already have an established relationship with the writer.  We publish unsigned writers of theatrical works based on the theatrical productions we have seen of their work.

For poetry and short stories we are currently creating a series of Poetry and Short Story Collections and the first edition will be published next year.  

Information on how you can submit your poetry or short story for consideration to be included in the inaugural edition will be placed here very soon.

We place all our publications exclusively online with Amazon in both print and digital editions to ensure we have the best way to connect with a global marketplace. It’s the reason why our website is so straightforward. We have a slimmed-down operation without costly overheads to maximise the revenue returned to our authors. Everything we publish is reviewed by Readers and Editors who are practitioners in the industry so your work is in trusted hands before we release each book.

We can’t wait to share with you the books that are coming up soon. We’ve started an amazing journey and we look forward to having you on board with us, supporting our writers and an youthful independent publisher.

In the meantime, the Derwent Howden Publishing website is getting a shiny new makeover and if you are looking to perform any of the plays in our Drama catalogue or have your plays or books of poetry published, bookmark our site and come back soon.
