Salt Books
@saltpublishing
One of the UK's leading indie publishers. High-impact fiction and brand-led non-fiction. Beautiful books you won’t forget. Available in all good bookshops.
I'm sure I'm not meant to be sharing the reality of small press life. Still, it's a fascinating life.
Also the contrast between public presentation of Salt and private reality.
People think a life in publishing is all about books and writers. But it's really all about boxes. And taking the post. [Image features exploitative rural child labour.]
It went on and on ... until Gardners books took us on, the first step toward full distribution.
Every small press goes through this stage – before you find a distributor, your home becomes the warehouse. This is Salt in Great Wilbraham, circa 2009. In the end, we filled the whole house. Hall, bedrooms, garage, bathroom – we made tunnels to get to the kitchen. 😄 #SaltBooks
Non-stop books arriving at Salty Towers – as our new publishing ramps up. Truly terrific writers, too! We just need to find some space in the dining room for all the ‘house’ stock! 😵💫 #SaltBooks
