ABOUT OBLITERATI PRESS

Obliterati Press came about when novelists Wayne Leeming and Nathan O’Hagan, stablemates with Leeds-based punk publishers Armley Press, realised they had a shared dream of starting their own indie press.  A year on from that first casual chat over a huge garlic Naan bread, they decided to stop dreaming and make it happen. They each share a passion for the kind of edgy work that mainstream publishers may overlook and want to provide a place where good writers can be showcased.

Obliterati Press is a publisher for writers set up by writers keen to use the experience they have gained to unveil great new voices. ​

Wayne, who writes as M. W. Leeming, is a writer, artist and musician who has been writing since early teens. His background in criminal defence law fuels a passion for issues of fairness, morality and justice – issues which are frequently threaded into his writing.

Wayne likes to write in a mixture of genres - including sci-fi, horror, long and short fiction, literary - and having self-published various pieces of fiction and non-fiction over the years, Wayne's graphic-novel inspired tongue-in-cheek crime thriller "Justice is Served" was first published by Armley Press in 2016, and later re-published by independent comic-book and graphic-novel publishers, Markosia. He self-published its sequel "The Plague Doctor: Justice is Served II" in 2018 and plans to write a third and final chapter.

In his musical endeavours, he has enjoyed support from BBC Radio Introducing and is currently working on a home-produced album.
