An independent publisher is opening a shop on Smithdown Road to bring industry "connections and knowledge" to Liverpool.
Dead Ink Books is an independent publisher currently based in the Baltic Triangle which was born out of a desire not to follow trends, but to lead them. The imprint, which publishes a range of literary fiction and non-fiction, focusses on finding and investing in authors who may not yet be known or commercially viable.
As an independent publisher in the north, Dead Ink Books wants to make the publishing industry more accessible for those outside London. Nathan Connolly, publishing director at the imprint, said the option of moving to London and working an unpaid internship wasn't the option for him.
