Tramp Press

Tramp Press is a publishing company founded in Dublin in 2014 by Lisa Coen and Sarah Davis-Goff. It is an independent publisher that specialises in Irish fiction. The company is named after John Millington Synge's tramp, a reference to the bold outsider.

Tramp Press published its inaugural title in April 2014. Flight, the debut novel of Oona Frawley, went on to be shortlisted for Best Newcomer Award at the Bord Gáis Energy Irish Book Awards. The book also received positive reviews in both The Guardian and The Irish Times.

Dubliners 100: 15 New Stories Inspired by the Original, edited by Thomas Morris, was released in June 2014 on the centenary of the publication of James Joyce's Dubliners. It comprises short fiction from established and emerging writers – including John Kelly, Mary Morrissy, Belinda McKeon and Eimear McBride – and an introduction by Morris.

Dubliners 100 won the Journal.ie Best Irish-Published Book Award at the Bord Gáis Energy Irish Book Awards while Donal Ryan's story for the collection, entitled Eveline, was shortlisted for the Writing.ie Best Short Story Award. It also received positive reviews in The Guardian, Irish Times and The Times Literary Supplement. The book was mentioned ahead of its publication in The New York Times.

A Struggle for Fame by Charlotte Riddell was the first in a series called 'Recovered Voices', which aims to showcase literature that has been largely forgotten. The Irish Independent described this rediscovered book by a prolific author as a "rare treat".

In 2015, Tramp Press published Sara Baume's debut novel Spill Simmer Falter Wither. Baume won the Davy Byrnes Award and the Hennessy New Irish Writer 2015 award. The novel was described as an exciting debut by writer Joseph O'Connor and rights were sold to UK publisher Heinemann.
