Ember Press is a fledgling publishing imprint set up in 2025 by Louisa Wright and Helen Jukes in memory of our friend, David Gee. We’ve started small, and plan to remain so – publishing quietly radical, ecologically-minded literature that would struggle to find a publisher elsewhere. We make careful books, and craft them beautifully.
We only take on new projects as time allows, and only ones we feel passionately about. If you have a project in mind, or would like to offer your support, please get in touch.
About us
Helen Jukes
Helen Jukes’ work has appeared in The New York Times, Port Magazine, Aeon and others.

Helen has led creative writing workshops for universities, literary organisations, a homelessness charity and a prison; she currently teaches at the University of Oxford, and lives with her daughter on the edge of the Peak District.
Louisa Wright
Louisa is an editor working with publishers and organisations across the arts and third sectors. She currently works for Goldsmiths, University of London, on an arts and cultural education programme, empowering schools to embed quality arts learning into their curriculum for all young people.
