Glagoslav

In 2011, a group of like-minded people with a shared appreciation of the important place Slavic literature holds within world culture – as well as collective expertise covering the fields of publishing, multimedia, marketing, and law – came together to found Glagoslav Publications, with offices in the United Kingdom and The Netherlands. Later Glagoslav publications went beyond Slavic, and authors and books from countries that are historically or borderally related to the Slavs were added.

The name Glagoslav is formed from the roots of two Slavic words: Glagolitsa (Глаго́лица) or Glagolitic – the first Slavic alphabet, and Slavyanye (Славя́не) or Slavs – the largest ethnolinguistic group in Europe. The name Glagoslav is an expression of our mission – not just to bring translations to the English- and Dutch-reading public, but to offer works that are uniquely Slavic and beyond in nature and facilitate a dialogue between East and West.

Glagoslav publishes contemporary fiction and non-fiction by authors from these three countries, and also republishes valuable works from the past that, despite their enduring relevance, are currently unavailable in English and Dutch. Our books are produced in soft- and hardcover, as well as in the most popular electronic formats for English and Dutch readers, both adult and children. The target audience we have in mind when we select our books is extremely diverse and is spread all across the planet. What its members have in common is an interest in the literature, culture, and history of Eastern Europe and an appreciation of high quality writing. To ensure that the quality of the translation matches that of the original, we work with experienced translators who have demonstrated the necessary expertise and literary gifts appropriate to each project.

ZenoPress

ZenoPress

ZenoPress is a London based, independent press founded and edited by Christian Patracchini.

The catalogue consists of poetry, experimental writing, art, sound, performance art and essays and is dedicated to work of interdisciplinary reach, inquiring critically but especially creatively into ideas. Our topics and themes range from the everyday to the virtual, to the philosophical and the political.

Possible paradigms are many: déjà vu’, memory of the present; time and history, gesture, taking form, incipiency; reality of the virtual and spacing. This list will inevitably grow, expand and change, yet there will be a common aim: to embrace new thought and experience at a creative intersection.

We publish books and anthologies where artists, writers, performers and various professionals from different walks of life are to contribute to each volume, providing routes to a multiplicity of voices and perspectives, defining a significant theme or tendency, addressing it not only to a professional audience but to all interested readers.

The Wee Book Company

The Wee Book Company

The Wee Book Company Ltd wus incorporated in 2018 wi’ the aim o’ producing quality, modern non-fiction Scottish humour an’ children’s fiction. We’re a’ aboot the funny but we underscore wur books wi’ messages o’ love, positivity, confidence an’ resilience. Aye, it’s important tae us tha’ laughter an’ love go haund in haund (jeez-oh, get us!).

Wur authors are largely individuals (nae a’ large individuals) who huv trained in wan therapy or anither, an’ so write wi’ wan eye oan the importance o’ the guid stuff o’ life.

Our Director, Susan Cohen originally hails frae Inverness. She started her wurkin’ life as a lawyer an’ spent a lang time representin’ clients in court in various jurisdictions roond the wurld. Efter huvin’ her twa sons, she went back tae University tae study English – frae there, she nivver looked back. She ended up becomin’ interested in combinin’ elements o’ therapeutic techniques such as meditation, mindfooness an’ hypnosis (Susan’s a qualified clinical hypnotherapist) intae her writin’ an’ this noo feeds the content o’ The Wee Book Company’s books, tae varyin’ degrees.

Thing is, there’s nothing po-faced aboot wur books. There’s none o’ tha’ ‘sit oan top o’ a mountain an’ channel yer inner unicorn’ kind o’ thing. Wur books are written wi’ humour an’ wi’ a mahoosive dollop o’ common sense. No’ wan unicorn tae be seen! The jokes come thick an’ fast, an’ staund alone. C’mon, who’s no’ gaun tae chuckle a’ the description o’ Cludgie Aerobics in The Wee Book o’ Cludgie Banter or Thistle Squats in Big Tam’s Kilted Wurkoots? An’ dinnae get us startit oan the Grannies’ Sayin’s … ‘heid doon, erse up!’ … ‘he’s got a face tha’ only a mither cuid love’ … ‘ye’re rippin’ ma knittin’!’ … sigh … hours o’ endless fun!

We huv tae say here tha’ we huv mair authors lined up than we can shake a stick a’ (no’ tha’ we go in fur stick shakin’ tha’ often), so we’re no’ in a position tae accept unsolicited manuscripts.

Inspired Quill

Inspired Quill

Inspired Quill aims to be the UK’s best small publisher as a traditional press dedicated to quality literature, skills development, and social/environmental causes.

From submission to launch, we collaborate with our authors, rather than operating above them. We diligently focus on setting new standards in ecological, people-oriented publishing that actively develops an author’s skills, by facilitating open involvement in marketing and editing, and encouraging authentic public confidence.

Engaging new writers means we’re able to start removing (the many) roadblocks and misinformation about the publishing industry.

We champion non-tokenistic diversity and representation across all parts of our business (and as much as we can across the sector as a whole, too).

Finally, we provide activities, mentoring and workshops to encourage and inspire transferable, creative skills to primarily (although not exclusively) marginalised individuals, and additionally partner with selected non-profit groups and charity programs.
