About the press
Palavro Publishing (an imprint of the Arkbound Foundation) focuses on underrepresented and diverse authors whose books cover important social or environmental themes. The editors work hands-on with authors who might otherwise struggle to get published. Books that have an environmental or social theme—which help readers to positively change their behavior—are also encouraged. Authors must be based in the United Kingdom.

As a nonprofit organization, we are proud to have published brilliant titles on limited funding, through the dedication of volunteers, generous donations, and proceeds of book sales. In 2022, with support from the Big Issue Foundation and People’s Postcode Lottery, we launched Crowdbound. All future books will use this new publishing avenue, with a focus on authors from disadvantaged backgrounds. In exceptional cases where crowdfunding isn’t possible, we will manage campaigns or use our limited reserves to publish their books.
