Liberties Press

Liberties Press was founded in 2003 and has, over the course of almost twenty years, become one of Ireland's leading independent publishers. The press has published several hundred titles across non-fiction, fiction, and poetry. They have published books by Irish President Michael D. Higgins and award-winning crime fiction writer Declan Burke; in 2013, Setting the Truth Free by Julieann Campbell won the Christopher Ewart-Biggs Prize for promoting reconciliation on the island of Ireland. They are continuing to do what they have done from the start: publish high-quality work by leading authors, to the highest editorial and production standards, and bring them to the widest possible English-speaking audience in Ireland, the UK, North America and elsewhere, and, in translation, to other language territories.
