HAVE YOU WRITTEN A BOOK
THAT DESERVES PUBLICATION?
The publishing industry is changing.
The old-style business model increasing-
ly no longer works, with the result that
most mainstream publishers routinely
reject all submissions, whether of fiction
or non-fiction, from writers who are
starting out and are yet to make a name
for themselves.
Canterbury-based writer and literary
agent James Essinger, founded The
Conrad Press in December 2015 to bring
a new kind of business model to the
world of publishing.
The Conrad Press publishes fiction,
poetry collections, and non-fiction
including memoirs and biographies.
As James explains: ‘I founded The
Conrad Press because it had become
clear to me that in the current publishing
climate, many perfectly worthwhile, and
indeed often excellent, novels and other
books were not being accepted by large
publishers no matter how good the book
is. Because publishers are being so reluctant
to publish books by new writers, literary
agents are understandably equally reluctant
to take such books on for representation.’
So far more than 120 writers have seen
their dream of publication come true
with The Conrad Press.
THE
CONRAD
PRESS
The Conrad Press makes use of a busi-
ness model which allows authors to earn
considerably more from their book’s
success than the traditional publishing
model.
The Conrad Press is named in honour
of the great Anglo-Polish writer Joseph
Conrad (1857-1924), who spent the last
years of his life in the village of Bishops-
bourne near Canterbury and is buried in
Canterbury.
The Conrad Press is fortunate to work
with one of the most talented book
designers in the UK. Her name is Charlotte
Mouncey and you can find out more
details about Charlotte at her website
