All activities and events at red herring press are free.

Anyone who wants to support red herring press, its activities and publishing, can become a member. Membership is on a sliding scale, from £2/month to £10/month (it is up to each person to decide themselves how much they will pay).

In exchange, members get sent a free copy of each future red herring press publication, as well as past publications too.

Membership costs go towards paying publication printing costs, building rent, activity materials (eg. Homework Club), public liability insurance, website costs.

You are free to pause or end your membership at any time.

Founded on anarchist principles, red herring press opened a Centre for Writing in 2023, with the intention of expanding what a publishing press can do; and how local writing, reading and publishing can be more meaningfully part of the wider social, economic and political conditions in which they occur.

For more on the intentions and thoughts behind the space, a text originally published in 2020 as part of the << no relevance >> poetry reading series is available to read online here.
