Kia ora
Kia ora. Ugly Hill Press publishes books with attitude. Books with enduring content. Beautifully designed books which last many lifetimes. Ugly Hill Press takes its name from the road in Hawke's Bay where the owner grew up, between Waipukurau and Pōrangahau.
I'm excited to announce some bold new books coming out later this year, and early in 2026.
READ ON, BOOKLOVERS.
About
Ugly Hill Press is a small, independent publishing company based in Waikato, Aotearoa New Zealand.
I am the owner, Deborah Coddington. I've made my living from words all my life - journalism, editing,
writing books, founding and running a bookshop, and now publishing.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, Begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now. Goethe
