Inpress, a distributor which works with sixty small independent publishers has reported that sales are booming, up 79% over the last year. Managing director Sophie O’Neill attributed this to ‘…a mix of really good books… and great attention to detail.’
Hannah Bannister, speaking for Peepal Tree Press, was more blunt, noting that independent publishers, ‘…are offering something that readers want rather than just another novel with a dead girl on a train.’
