Testimonials

“I thoroughly recommend The Selkie for its excellent submission and editorial processes. From the outset I felt that my work was respected and that The Selkie team was striving to present it to its very best advantage.”

Abigail Elizabeth Ottley

“Working with The Selkie editors was a joyous experience from start to finish. Everyone was so invested in my work and it felt like a genuinely creative and collaborative process.”

Alice Langley

“The Selkie is the best publishing company that I have ever worked with. Meticulous down to the minutiae of word level and punctuation – with several rounds of edits offered. I learned much about fine-tuning and honing the skill of editing from The Selkie and I am indebted to them for it. I wish they published novels as I’d be knocking at their door (metaphorically) with submission proposals. Thanks again and I look forward to seeing both my prose and poetry in print.”

Emma Wells

“I received personalized communication and editorial suggestions to improve my work. It made me feel that my work was appreciated and treated with care. There are also opportunities for additional promotion of my piece that not every literary magazine takes the time to do but is so helpful for emerging authors.”

Raina Alidjani

“Working with The Selkie editors was an absolute pleasure. Their editing process felt like a respectful partnership where they answered every concern with an open ear. I can wholeheartedly recommend them!”

Roxane Llanque

“It was very convenient and professional to work with them especially since they target individuals around the world.”

Alshaad Kara

“The Selkie was my first place to ever be published! The editorial process was so clear and the communication all throughout the process was great, and much appreciated for a new writer who had never made it this far in the process. I hope to submit again in the future.”

Kaci O’Meara

“It was such a pleasure to work with the team. The editing process gave me new insights into my poem and pushed it to the best version possible, while also treating my work with kindness and care. Also, the promotion on social media and communication with the authors were nothing but professional and enthusiastic at all times. I would always submit to The Selkie again as I know my work will be in professional and caring hands. Thank you for being a safe space in the literary community!”

Tossing and Turning I do not believe in formal artist statements. Art should speak for itself, and the artist should maintain a respectful distance and silence. I work intuitively and compulsively, probably believing that there are archetypes that are shared among us...
