Influx Press is an independent publisher based in North London, founded by Gary Budden and Kit Caless. We are committed to publishing innovative and challenging fiction and creative non-fiction from across the UK and beyond.
Founded in 2012, we have published award-winning fiction collections, boundary-pushing debut novels, site-specific anthologies, creative non-fiction and more, launching the careers of writers including Darran Anderson, Jeffrey Boakye, Eliza Clark, Gareth E Rees, Eley Williams and many more.
In 2018, Influx won the Republic of Consciousness Prize for Small Presses.
Attrib. and Other Stories by Eley Williams won the prestigious James Tait Black Award in 2018, and our titles have been shortlisted and longlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize, the Edge Hill Prize, the Jhalak Prize and the Gordon Burn Prize.
In 2022 we published The Trees by Percival Everett, which was shortlisted for the prestigious Booker Prize and won the Bollinger Wodehouse Everyman Prize.
After a hiatus, Influx resumed publishing in 2024 and became fully operational in 2025, when Caless left to pursue his academic interests.
Budden is now director of Influx Press, spearheading a new list and a new direction for the press.
