Go On, You Can Tell Us...

Like so many websites these days, we have a contact form. You can use that. Or if you want to talk to Patricia Finney, that's a feed from her blog right down the middle of the page. You could follow William Essex on Twitter by looking under the potted tree down there on the left. If you're interested in working with us, scroll down to the section below the contact form. Climbing Tree Books, in common with all its authors and writers, may be found in all the obvious social-media places. [You've said all that, and you haven't mentioned the email address? - Ed.] You can get straight through
to the executive suite [Are you serious? - Ed.] via this email address.

    Of Course, There's A Contact Form

You Want to Work With Us? Seriously?

Climbing Tree Books is one of the world's finest small, bumptious publishing houses. We specialise in readable, enjoyable, entertaining fiction, fact, fantasy - any kind of storytelling that catches our attention and keeps us reading. You can write for us, or illustrate for us, or work with us in some other capacity that we haven't thought of yet - but the rule is: it has to be fun. Our contracts favour authors, because we are authors, and we pay reasonably well for everything else.
    The Climbing Tree Books Bursary For Young Talented Writers Who Want To Be Novelists doesn't exist, although it probably should. You're welcome to write for us, subject to contract and being readable and all that, but if you do send us some of your work, it has to stand alone. No long explanations. Just a chapter that gets our attention (maybe also the paragraph you'd put on the back cover). We're professional writers. We'll know what we want to publish when we see it.
     Oh, and don't expect a reply unless we do have something to say back to you - like, we really love this. We take on no obligation whatsoever when you contact us, and none in the unlikely event that we reply, until and unless we all sit solemnly round a table drinking coffee and initialing the pages of a contract that defines our relationship.
