Bog Bodies Press
People are born storytellers. At bog bodies press, we believe that stories are drivers of change that belong to people, not to literary institutions. Our platforms amplify and share the brilliant stories that institutional publishing misses out on amongst community, both on and off the page. In our publishing practice, we want to approach storytelling with open arms - we work with transcribed audio, translation and writing in all of its forms. Our publications don’t pretend to be all-knowing, but instead present stories in engaging, unpretentious ways.
mnemotope 006
This edition feels a little haunting in parts, with strange, otherworldly stories dotted amongst its contents. alongside those, it contains some very real insights into lived experience – a chaotic morning, a birthday swim, reflections on family.

mnemotope 005
This edition feels very scenic. many of the pieces bring you to specific places and times, travelling with our contributors as the pages turn. Many of the drawings in this edition feel shadowy, soft edges against the crisp writing on the page alongside it. This is what the cover is drawn from – two travelling shadows, reflecting the life above them.
