About us:

Crumps Barn Studio is based at a beautiful Dutch barn in the heart of the Cotswolds, UK. We were established in 2012 and after lately enjoying two years in Cirencester we’ve returned to our newly refurbished base in rural Gloucestershire in August 2024. Visits are by appointment only.

Our authors mainly find us by word of mouth, although we are open for submissions. Please note that submissions should be made by email following our submission guidelines – we do not accept submissions in person through our shop. We publish poetry, memoir, history, accessible literary fiction and children’s picture books. Our titles are always beautifully presented. You can find out more about our approach to publishing on our main publishing site >
