Luna Press Publishing™

https://www.lunapresspublishing.com/

Luna Press Publishing™ is an independent UK press, formed in 2015 by author Francesca T. Barbini. Its focus is Science Fiction, Fantasy and Dark Fantasy – in both fiction and academic form. Luna Press Publishing™ brings together talented Sci-fi and Fantasy authors, artists and academics, to publish works and connect those works with their audience. Fiction projects will often cross media formats; many are collaborations between writers and illustrators and using exhibitions and other forms of showcasing.

Luna Press Publishing™ has close associations with the Tolkien Society https://www.tolkiensociety.org/ and publishes "The Return of the Ring - Proceedings"; the scholarly papers from the Return of the Ring conferences run by the Tolkien Society in celebration of the author.

Luna Press can be found in the Artists and Writers Handbook 2017. Academia Lunare is the non-fiction arm of Luna Press Publishing™, specifically for the critical exploration of fantasy and science fiction.
