Price Restructuring
We have undertaken an extensive review of our prices based on, amongst other things, the cost of raw materials and amount of effort involved in the production of each publication.  Having consulted with valued customers, authors and esteemed colleagues in the independent publishing world we have settled on the following price structure for future publications.
 
Chapbook (up to 40 pages, stapled spine) - £5.00
Slim Tome (40-100 pages, perfect bound) - £7.50
Novel (100 pages +, perfect bound) - £10.00

In light of this we have scrapped the old subscription option, existing subscriptions will still be honoured. This should allow us to be more adventurous in our publications; we hope this meets with your continued approval.
