Welcome to the world of Byker

  

Our brief is simple, we want to promote good, unknown writers, entertain the reader and have a bit of a laugh. Our literary heroes are the likes of Irvine Welsh, Christopher Brookmyre, Kevin Sampson, Alan Sillitoe, Danny King, Max Kinnings and Charlie Williams. That list isn't exhaustive, in fact we could go on for days about the stuff we like, but it should give you an idea of what we want to showcase on the site, hopefully publish in the future and generally read every day.  

 

At this present moment we're only  accepting submissions for short British fiction but keep an eye on the site because we have plans to uncover and promote unsigned talent in the not too distant future.

 

In the meantime though, why don't you peruse the 'Radgepacket Online' page, maybe have a look at 'Our Publications' and then let us know what you think via the email address on the 'Contact Us' page. Maybe you'll get inspired enough to start scribbling yourself, submit it to us and become a global superstar.....or maybe not.

 

Whatever happens though you can sit back and relax, safe in the knowledge that edgy British fiction isn't quite dead after all. The boy wizards, 'celebrity' authors and chick lit set haven't quite closed all the outlets for stories that might actually relate to you.

Thanks for dropping by - until the next time....

Radgepacket Three continues the Byker Books quest to bring you the best in ‘unsigned and unhinged’ British talent as well as the more established names. We’ve got stories of giant rats, vigilantes, teenage car thieves and bent politicians as well as many more. If you like blood and guts, sex and drugs or gangsters and thugs then there’s something in here for you.

 

'A perfect showcase for some of Britain's best unsigned authors and a must for all readers interested in taking a detour off the beaten mainstream

 

I'm proud to be part of the Radgepacket revolution. And in twenty years time, when they've conquered the known literary world, I can say I was in there from the start and still haven't been paid.'
