An independent imprint of artist-led publishing.

Feral Press is an imprint founded by artists Tim Brennan and Paul Wakelam, operating deliberately outside the traditional ISBN system.

Functioning as both a publishing venture and an artistic practice, it offers an off-grid platform for artist books, theoretical texts, and poetry objects that resist categorisation — works that are provisional, performative, and situated at the shifting edges of discipline.

The press is carefully curated, not open for submission.

Brennan and Wakelam invite contributors whose work aligns with the imprint’s ethos of feral inquiry and aesthetic risk. This approach nurtures an intimate and responsive publishing ecology — one attuned to the unstable thresholds of contemporary thought.

In 2024, Feral Press launched the Field Papers series, with A Tour of the Minuments of Manchester as its inaugural title. This ongoing collection explores the intersection of art, walking, language, and the built environment.
