Regional & Country Winner for the Small Press of the Year

We are delighted to have been selected as a British Book Awards Regional & Country Winner for the Small Press of the Year in the East & South-East England region, and are now in the running to be crowned Small Press of the Year.

The Bookseller says: ‘September is the winner of the East and South-east England category for the second year in a row. It flexed to reach readers digitally and directly, raced out Joanne Harris’ Ten Things About Writing for those who were writing in lockdown, and had its best year yet in the US.’

We are in great company and the win is a terrific boost! Thank you to all our authors. And all collaborators – Turnaround Publisher Services, Global Book Sales and all the wonderful designers and expert freelancers we rely on.

Collecting memories

‘Morris’ writing is immediately welcoming, and the content is warmly familiar for any reader working within the museums and heritage profession (although this is not a prerequisite to enjoying the book) … It is a timely book at a moment when the heritage sector is asking challenging questions’
