The Roaring Lion Newcastle is proud to announce the signing of three powerful storytellers to our growing literary family. Chukwuemeka Famous, Joseph Nnamdi, and Ikemefuna Umeadi bring with them works of fiction that moves fluidly between the interior and political, the mythic and modern, each writing with a clarity and boldness that refuses convention, and invites readers to experience fiction in its most vibrant and unrestrained form.
The Roaring Lion Newcastle is a fiercely independent publishing house amplifying subversive, sharp, and necessary voices. We publish work that disrupts, questions, and refuses the quiet.
Our team is small, radical, and fuelled by care and craft.
