2012 - 2024

Patricia worked in publishing for nearly fifty years and has written several children’s books. She started Patrician Press in 2012 after completing her MA in Creative Writing at Essex University. By 2022, she had published over forty titles for adults. The list is quite eclectic and includes fiction, non-fiction, memoir and poetry. Proceeds from four anthologies were donated to various charities. Her aim throughout was to publish titles which weren’t necessarily commercial or mass market and  to give new writers a push up the ‘publishing ladder’. As Patricia is of Italian origin, some titles have an Italian theme, and seven titles are available in Italian.
