Quirks and Foibles

Welcome to Quirks and Foibles. We are a small publisher looking to expand our list with six new titles in 2026. So if you have a poetry or short story collection, or even a novella, we would be delighted to hear from you. We are dedicated to celebrating the creative eccentricity of the human brain, so if you have an English language manuscript sitting on your laptop and you think it might tickle our fancy, why not send it in? If it makes us laugh, cry or howl with anger, we’ll consider your work, provided it is your own distinctly human effort and not something dreamt up by Marvin the Paranoid Android.

Mother's Day

Poets, if you have a great poem about your Mother, we are compiling an anthology of such work. Mothers are the best, I mean, where would we be without them? 

Simply email your manuscript to nick@printregister.com

Wee Meanderings on the Drove Road to Daramach
Wee Meanderings on the Drove Road to Daramach
WEE MEANDERINGS ON THE DROVE ROAD TO DHÀRAMACH is Alan McLeod’s first Collection of very short stories, essays and polemics. Fictional and occasionally philosophical, once again McLeod attempts to capture that most elusive of romantic butterflies – the Highland Geist. McLeod has been described by one Reviewer as mellifluous, by another as blasphemous.
