Influx Press

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. Formed in 2012, we have published award-winning fiction collections, boundary pushing debut novels, site-specific anthologies, creative non-fiction and much more, launching the careers of writers such as Darran Anderson, Jeffrey Boakye, Eliza Clark, Gareth E. Rees, Eley Williams and more. In 2022, we published The Trees by Percival Everett, which was shortlisted for the prestigious Booker Prize and won the Bollinger Wodehouse Everyman Prize. Following a hiatus, Influx resumed publishing in 2024, resuming full operations in 2025, with Caless leaving to pursue academic interests. Budden is now director of Influx Press, spearheading a new list and new direction for the press.
