Swimming Home (16 page)

Dear readers,

With the right book we can all travel far. And yet British publishing is, with illustrious exceptions, often unwilling to risk telling these other stories.

Subscriptions from readers make our books possible. They also help us approach booksellers, because we can demonstrate that our books already have readers and fans. And they give us the security to publish in line with our values, which are collaborative, imaginative and ‘shamelessly literary’ (Stuart Evers,
Guardian
).

All subscribers to our upcoming titles

• are thanked by name in the books

• receive a numbered, first edition copy of each book (limited to 300 copies for our 2011 titles)

• are warmly invited to contribute to our plans and choice of future books

Subscriptions are:

£20 – 2 books (two books per year)

£35 – 4 books (four books per year)

This book was made possible by our advance subscribers’ support – thank you so much!
