Brigids Gate Press

Welcome to Brigids Gate Press
Where the gates are always open,
the Forge of Inspiration hot,
the inkwells perpetually full,
the Well of Creativity infinite
And the kettle is always on.

Brigids Gate Press, an indie press established in 2021 by Heather, Clyde, and S.D. Ventura-Vassallo, believes in the power of STORY. We seek to be a forge where new and underrepresented talents are refined and developed, and their stories shaped and tempered into beautiful, dark, mysterious, and thrilling tales that will delight readers. Above all, we seek to do our utmost to help and encourage writers on their journeys.

Underrepresented authors are welcome. Unagented authors are welcome. 

Currently, our focus is on horror, dark fantasy, poetry, and romance. We aren’t afraid of mash-ups of more than one genre and will go the extra mile to market those books in a way that gets into the right readers’ hands. As of now, we use print on demand services via Amazon and IngramSpark. This allows us to keep upfront print costs low while allotting more of the budget to anthologies, art, and marketing. Using print on demand also allows us to take risks on manuscripts that may be harder to place with other publishers. Our goal is to get your story out into the world. Afterall, someone, somewhere, is eagerly awaiting it.
