Why join the network? Well, there are heaps of benefits:
- Join the profit-share pool
- List your forthcoming titles on this website
- Have your press listed on this website and shout about your successes and what makes you unique
- Have your titles highlighted in a monthly newsletter to a curated list of indie booksellers across the country
- List your authors for event and festival directors to find
- Become part of a network of presses, offering support and solidarity
The annual fee for belonging to the network is just £20, which is charged to cover expenses; any profits accrued at the end of the year will be split equally between members.
The only conditions of joining the network are:
- That the press joining the network is independent, i.e. it is operated by its owners and is not part of a group
- That the press has five or fewer employees
- That the press is not a self-publishing operation (for the avoidance of doubt, if the press publishes books by the owners, it must also publish work by third parties, and the self-publishing element must not account for more than a third of the press’ output; and if the press charges authors for publication, it must also publish ‘traditionally’, i.e. without charging authors, and the self-publishing element must not account for more than a third of the press’ output)
- That the press agrees to adhere to the rules of the network
