MIrari Revel

Mirari Revel is our digital-first imprint dedicated to the boldest and most imaginative speculative fiction. With a fierce commitment to championing queer voices and experimental storytelling, Mirari Revel is here to disrupt, challenge, and reimagine the literary landscape.

 

As an exclusively ebook imprint, Mirari Revel is optimised for digital reading, making boundary-breaking fiction accessible to readers worldwide. This is a space for authors who dare to push the limits of genre, storytelling, and worldbuilding.

​

Editorial Principles

 Mirari Revel celebrates authors who make use of speculative fiction to imagine different worlds for readers whose identities are not welcomed everywhere in our own. Fiction enables us to question, and challenge, the reality we inhabit. We aim to create more inclusive spaces in literature and publishing – for all.

​
