Channel Press CLG

Channel Press Company Limited by Guarantee operates as a publisher and community builder focused on Irish and international writing that explores human relationships with the more-than-human world. The organisation began its life in 2019 as Channel, a literary journal dedicated to building creative community among writers, artists and readers around shared ecological concern. It now serves as a home for writing on ecological entanglement, aiming to foster connection through words.

The company publishes a biannual journal titled Channel, with recent issues available for purchase. It also offers a range of titles, including Holdfast, and provides subscription options that support its work with steady income. This financial support allows Channel Press to invest in new projects and plan for the future. The organisation actively seeks submissions from writers whose words fill its pages and maintains an archive of published works featuring contributions from various authors.

In addition to publishing, Channel Press runs a workshop series for writers interested in exploring ecological entanglement through their work. One example is a course on writing the rural, covering person, place and process. The company invites engagement from bookshop owners, journalists, book bloggers and readers. It encourages those interested in helping grow the community or stocking its titles to get in touch, reinforcing its mission to build creative community around shared concern for the living world.
