About Muntjac Press

Muntjac Press began life in Ledbury, Herefordshire, sprouting from a prose salon held in Philip Weaver’s seventeenth century panelled room. It enjoyed a long and circuitous association with Artistree, the visual artist collective. Past collaborations with members include the Herefordshire Kalender.

Also published by Muntjac Press are picture books The Ticket and The Tale of the Blue Tiger by Julie Louise Jones, a founding member of Artistree. We collaborated with former Artistree member Jeanette McCulloch writing historical monologues for the Art Council of England funded travelling show Art Cases. Muntjac was involved with the Ledbury poetry, publishing two collections by the Homend Poets and participating in a third.

Muntjac Press published The Pozzy, capturing the taste of the recently closed jam factory, Robertson’s Ledbury Preserves through interviews, stories and rare photographs and The Mordiford Dragon, a colouring book, celebrating the folk heritage still told through the generations in Herefordshire.

A departure from Herefordshire is the complex and bitter aromatic urban taste of The Gray Line, set in Los Angeles and available for those seeking a modern philosophical novel. Muntjac moved to Bristol, England in 2010. Forthcoming projects revolve around poetry and Zen Buddhism.
