Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox publisher Bluemoose Books is an independent publisher based in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, England.[1] It was founded in 2006 by Kevin and Hetha Duffy.[2] Kevin Duffy has said that the name was inspired by the Blue Pig pub at nearby Hardcastle Crags and the saxophone player Bull Moose Johnson who featured in Peter GuralnickШаблон:'s Sweet Soul Music.[3]

It has published award-winning titles including Benjamin Myers' 2012 Pig Iron, first winner of the Gordon Burn Prize.[4]

The company decided to publish only books by women during the year 2020, hoping to shine a spotlight on the work of older or not-yet-established female authors, who face being sidelined because of the publishing industry's usual focus on youth and celebrity.[5][6] The selected authors were Heidi James, Anna Chilvers and Sharon Duggal [7]

Publishing no more than 10 titles a year, Bluemoose was the North England winner in the 2023 Small Press of the Year awards.[1][8]
