Beneath the Poisoned Roots

Beneath the Poisoned Roots is a short story fantastical horror collection, written and published by students of Bangor University Creative Writing MA and Publishing and Book Culture MA years 2021-2022.

Into the Light

Alys reframes each myth with modern lens whilst still maintaining the historic setting. Each story follows a young woman from the Mabinogion; Rhiannon, Branwen, Olwen, and Arianhrod. Each woman is now the focus of her own story and has the opportunity to change her ending.

Author of The Treasure Trail

Fantastic company, made my children's book into an actual real thing that is now on my bookshelf! Communication was easy despite the 140 mile distance, email and zoom calls a plenty. Becca organised everything including the illustrator. It wasn't all smooth sailing but Becca handled all the problems we encountered and her sister created ads for social media to advertise my book and Becca helped me create bookmarks to give as freebies. Captain Scruffbeard has finally set sail on his Treasure Trail 📖

Becca really cares about the quality of the books and it's a real family business. If you have a book you'd like to see in print then don't hesitate to use Barnard Publishing as soon as submissions are open.
