📚 We don’t produce books just because they look like a commercial sure thing. We are interested in original, high-quality, distinctive work, whether the author has a profile or not, or whether the book slots easily into any genre.

♻️ Some sneer at print on demand, but we use it when appropriate because it’s more environmentally sound than mainstream publishers doing large print runs because it’s cheaper to pulp books than to reprint them!

❤️ We don’t treat authors - or their books - as expendable commodities. Fairness, empowerment, transparency and mutual support are at the heart of everything we do.

So who are we, what makes us different and why support an award-winning, #indiepublisher - or more importantly, our authors? 🧵

We love seeing our books out in the wild no matter where they are but it’s fantastic to see them in a library, especially one which will send the book to any of the libraries in the Borough if it’s ordered! #LoveYourLibrary #SupportLibraries #LibraryLife #BookLife #Books

Fresh off the back of being recommended by Robin Ince, today’s #BookQW is taken from the hilarious short story anthology Two Similar Looking Men With Umbilical Hernias by @ZenaBarrie, and a prime example of her ability to combine the absurd and existential to masterful effect.

It is great to see The Portrait Girl and Nicole Swengley included in the Success Stories on the @CornerstonesLit website. She is certainly one of ours, with The Portrait Girl described as “a thoroughly engaging mystery” by the FT! #Mystery #Thriller #HistoricalFiction #HistFic
