About Seraph Press

Seraph Press is a boutique literary publishing house in Wellington, New Zealand. It was founded in 2004 by Helen Rickerby, who is managing editor, general dogsbody and everything in between. 

Seraph Press specialises in publishing quality poetry. Because we publish very little, we only publish work we are completely in love with, and which we feel needs to be out in the world.
