About Bell Jar Books

Bell Jar Books is the imprint of author, Helen Steadman.

After publishing her first three novels with Impress Books, Helen decided she wanted to follow her own path in future. Supported with help and advice from the Society of Authors and the Alliance of Independent Authors, she negotiated an end to her existing publishing contract and went on to buy back the rights to Widdershins, Sunwise and The Running Wolf. After waving a fond farewell to her former publisher, she set up Bell Jar Books to issue new editions of her first three novels and to publish her new books: God of Fire (A Greek Myth Retelling) and Solstice, the final part of The Newcastle Witch Trials Trilogy.

Novels published by Bell Jar Books are available from all major bookshops, independent bookshops, libraries and online booksellers. Formats include hardback, paperback, large print, audiobook and ebook.
