Banshee Press is the Irish winner of Small Press of the Year at the Nibbies for second year running

We are thrilled to be going forward to the British Book Awards 2025 as the island of Ireland nominee for Small Press of the Year! We’ll now compete against nine other small publishers for the overall prize at the Nibbies on 12 May. Here’s what the judges had to say about Banshee Press:

Banshee Press is the Island of Ireland winner for the second year in a row. Its part-time team, backed by the Arts Council of Ireland and others, run a small books list and literary journal showcasing Irish literary voices that wouldn’t otherwise be heard. Several of them earned critical acclaim and places on poetry prize shortlists last year. Banshee’s cover design and publicity are both notably good.

Huge thanks to The Bookseller for the recognition and to our brilliant authors, contributors, subscribers and readers for their support over the years!
