Cover image of Tej Turner's Blood Ruin, book 4 in his Avatars of Ruin series. Cover art by Alison Buck from an idea by Tej. The centre of the image is a face in shadow with shining eyes, wild hair, and a red gem in its forehead. There is a glow behind the face but otherwise the background is black. Around the face in a circle are various animalistic and monstrous claws and tentacles woven together. Outside of that circle are panels bordered with blood red, containing an intricate celtic knot type pattern in various shades of green, one at the top, another at the bottom and a third encompassing the bottom half of the monstrous circle, surrounding the author’s name TEJ TURNER in stylised letters that are coloured blood red. Encompassing the top of the monstrous circle is the book title BLOOD RUIN in the same blood red characters.

Cover image by Miles Nelson, for the Cedar & The Sapphire by Miles Nelson. The cover has a white background with two animals sitting facing away from the viewer in the middle of the image. The one on the left is a Lutra (like an otter) with blue fur dappled with light grey speckles. On the right is an Ailura (like a red panda) with a brown coat and a bushy tail ringed with white stripes. The two animals are snuggled together and their tails are intertwined. Either side of them are some grass and yellow flowers. The title is written above the animals in black in a cursive script and the author's name is written below in black in the same cursive script.

Cover image by Alison Buck for The Fall of Faerie by Rebecca Hall, the first book in The Avalon Revolution series. The cover depicts a misty road, in a town, although no buildings can be seen through the mist, a starry sky is just visible above the mist. Walking out of the mist towards the viewer is a young girl perhaps aged 10 or 11, wearing fluffy white rabbit slippers, blue-green pyjamas emblazoned with rabbit faces, and clutching a stuffed rabbit toy. She has black hair hanging down in two plaits, one either side of her face. Her eyes are mysteriously not visible. Behind her, just discernible in the mist is a bus that has crashed into a lamp-post and a cyclist who has fallen off his bicycle, which is lying on the ground. At the top of the cover the words The Avalon Revolution are in white, with the title The Fall of Faerie below in larger white letters. At the bottom of the cover the name REBECCA HALL is written in golden letters.

Cover image of Fourth Seed, book 4 in Terry Jackman’s Worlds Apart collective, by Alison Buck and Space Fabricator. Against a starry background, a planet fills most of the right hand side of the image. It is an earth-like planet, with oceans, green and brown areas of land and cloud formations in places. In orbit above the planet is a huge spaceship, in menacing red, with a single gold stripe across the top. It appears to be comprised of large flat spaceship, with a more dome-like second craft nestled into the dimpled top. the title is at the top of the image in white stylised capital letters, and the author’s name is at the bottom of the image in the same style of letters.

Image
Cover design and artwork: Alex Storer
Cover image by Alex Storer, for A Truth Beyond Sense by Rosie Oliver. The cover has a grey, textured background suggestive of the rock of which the moon Miranda is composed. around the edges is foliage and plants suggestive of the greenhouses used to grow food to feed the inhabitants. In the middle of the cover the rock has a hole, apparently looking into a tunnel which has stalactites and stalagmites, and a bright light source at the far end which permeates the whole tunnel with a greenish light. In the tunnel there is a figure of a person in a space suit, struggling to walk between the stalagmites. At the top of the cover the title is printed in white uppercase sans serif letters that appear to be incised in the image; at the bottom the author’s name is incised in similar letters in a light green.

About us

Elsewhen Press is a small independent publisher specialising in Speculative Fiction. Our Earth-based operations are headquartered in the UK, in the South East of England, whence we publish titles in English in print and electronic editions.

We love books, so we pride ourselves on the quality of our books, not only in terms of the content (which is down to the authors of course, although our editors feel they deserve some recognition too!), but also in terms of the quality of the finished book (the cover, layout, feel, smell, longevity and all those other qualities – tangible and intangible – that together define the final product that you hold in your hand) including electronic editions that are ultimately constrained by the features of the e-reader that you are using.

Read more about our philosophy here.

We have an experienced and enthusiastic team of people who make everything happen. When we decided we should write a little about them here there were so many suggestions (only some of which were printable) for what we should say about each member of the crew that we realised we would need an entirely separate page. If you’re interested in finding out more about any of us then feel feel to browse through the officers and crew page.
