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. ​

​Nathan grew up on Merseyside, and now lives in Northamptonshire with his wife and two children and works full time for the NHS. After spending most of his teens and twenties in various unsuccessful bands, Nathan eventually turned his hand to writing.  In 2013, he self published a short fiction collection, "Purge".

"The World Is (Not) A Cold Dead Place" was his first completed novel, published through Leeds based "punk publishers" Armley Press in 2015, and was described by author Russ Litten as "a beautiful bruise of a novel." It is currently in development for a UK TV series.

This was followed up by "Out Of The City" in 2017, which Nick Quantrill called "a scuzzy piece of swirling Scouse neo-noir".

​He regularly writes features and reviews for the online fanzine God Is In The TV, as well as Sabotage Times and Clash Music.
