About Sunburnt Saints

Sunburnt Saints is a publisher of short stories.

We publish these as standalone books which become a celebration of the genre, and while we're open to other formats, we do this mainly through chapbooks. Our stories are written by prize-winning and notable authors and won't be found elsewhere.

Sunburnt Saints Publishing has two main strands: an ongoing series of exclusive chapbooks, available on annual subscription, and the provision of original short story books to brands that recognise the power of storytelling and the benefits it can bring to an audience overwhelmed by the digital experience.

Founder

Andy Leach is a writer and publisher with a 25 year media career, during which he bought, developed and subsequently sold a publishing agency, producing publications for clients such as P&O Cruises, Baillie Gifford, flybmi, Vauxhall Motors and the NFU along the way.

Between 2021 and 2023 he created a first series of short story chapbooks available on subscription. Buoyed by the success of this, 2026 sees the launch of Sunburnt Saints, taking the concept further, working with more brilliant authors and expanding the reach of great short stories.
