About

Soor Ploom Press is the home of playful and punchy writing from Scotland and beyond.

Founded during a cold winter on the banks of a loch in Argyll and within walking distance of our local sweet shop, Soor Ploom Press – named after our favourite hard-boiled sweetie – is a new independent publishing house on a mission to find and share new writing with everyone. And like our namesake, we’re keeping it short, sharp and sweet.

With original poetry and creative writing collected in our immaculately presented anthologies, you’ll be able to enjoy them between meetings, at the bus stop, waiting for the kettle to boil…

And, like any good pick-n-mix, you’ll never quite know what you’re going to get. But you can be sure of this: it’ll be full of flavour, it’ll make you stop, pinch your jaw bone and sook in your cheeks. It’ll make you forget the long dark and the horizontal rain. And yes, you’re going to want just… one… more.
