Welcome to Calon!

Launched in 2022, Calon is the University of Wales Press’s non-fiction imprint, bringing the many varied and fascinating stories of Wales to new audiences around the world. Calon books cover a vast array of subjects – ranging from food to folklore, music to memoir, travel and nature writing, and much more.

Submissions

We are currently open to submissions from both agents and authors. We are looking for non-fiction books aimed at a general readership, with a link to Wales or to Welsh history and culture. Calon books do not, however, have to be entirely focused on Wales and we welcome submissions from authors of all nationalities and backgrounds.

Our proposal guidelines can be found here. Please send your proposal to Katherine Venn, Publisher: katherine.venn@press.wales.ac.uk

Calon is supported by the Books Council of Wales.
