Slightly Foxed brings back forgotten voices through its Slightly Foxed and Plain Foxed Editions, a series of beautifully produced little pocket hardback reissues of classic memoirs, all of them absorbing and highly individual. For younger bookworms – and nostalgic older ones too – there’s the Slightly Foxed Cubs series, in which we’ve reissued a number of classic nature and historical novels. Our online bookshop also includes a carefully-curated selection of titles from other publishers’ lists.

• You should check our index first to make sure we haven’t already covered your chosen book
• We recommend that you read at least one issue of Slightly Foxed before sitting down at the keyboard. Our approach is rather different from that of other literary magazines
• Our issues are pretty well full up for the coming year, so anything accepted for publication is unlikely to appear immediately
• We always pay our contributors for published articles but we are unable to pay a fee for anything sent in as an unsolicited article if we turn it down
• Slightly Foxed articles are generally between 1,000 and 2,000 words in length, depending on the significance of the subject
• Articles should be submitted as a Word document, attached to an email addressed to [email protected]
