Selfishgenie Publishing is a boutique publishing house dedicated to providing a service for unknown, or relatively unknown, authors and allowing them to become better known. At the same time, we want readers to discover new work by new authors, while enjoying their reading experience.

Our philosophy is that readers can’t know if an author is worth reading until they have read one of their books, therefore those books need to be available for them to read.

As a small publishing house we can’t take on every author who wants to be published, but we can take a few risks. We can give a few unknown authors the break they deserve, while at the same time offering readers the chance to discover the next big name in publishing before their books become expensive to buy.

This year, our author Robert Cubitt will be exhibiting at November’s Oxford Indie Book fair. he is a multi-genre author of both fiction and non-fiction, so we are sure he will have soemthing to suit your reading tastes.

J. N. Fox is of Caribbean descent. She was born in Wiltshire and grew up in a small town there. Maternally she is related to Jamaicans who fought for Britain in both the first and second world wars. She lives in Oxford with her husband and writes full-time.

She has featured in the Sunday Times. Been the subject of a BBC Documentary and has written content for The Times and Telegraph.

She is the author of The Battle of Ignorance trilogy. A fictional series of contemporary literary novels that deal with integration and interracial relationships. Using fun relatable characters, she raises awareness of topical issues.

Three Voices, the first book in the series introduces readers to an experience not often depicted, that of black families living in the English countryside. Where they are exposed to middleclass and even aristocratic ways.

Three intertwined voices tell an insightful story of hope; Delsea a British Jamaican woman in a mixed relationship, her husband Michael, and Jonathan the biological father of her son. It is about love, struggle, and devotion. In a world where some believe in angels and their power to help solve the problems of humanity. 

‘Life is serious, but is not to be lived too seriously’. Serious or humorous, my poems are always good-natured.

I write when I have something to say, and I feel I have found the right way to say it. It’s about having fun with words and meaning, using words skilfully to say things differently, and saying the familiar in unfamiliar ways.

In 2017 I self-published a collection of poetry and wit as Particles of Light. The book has been well received and has sold well in my local bookshops.

Intersecting Lines, my second collection, was traditionally published by indie publisher Beercott Books in 2021. It continues to reflect my interest in people, love, the natural world, and the human condition, and is written very much with the reader in mind.

There are poems to move you, to surprise you, and to make you laugh. The humorous poems and one-liners are there for entertainment, to be enjoyed, though they often contain a ‘sting in the tail’.

I hope readers will enjoy reading my poems, and will feel I am putting their own experiences and emotions into words.

It’s such a great feeling when you get good feedback and review comments, or when somebody chooses to take home a copy of your words. That’s communication!
