DYSLEXIA-FRIENDLY PUBLISHING
Founded by Dr Alistair Sims, who is himself dyslexic, Books on the Hill Press is the only publisher in the UK to exclusively publish books for people with dyslexia, writes Gary Dalkin.
The books have wider line spacing and a bigger font, and are left-aligned, not justified. Now the small independent company, which was formed three years ago, is behind a new range of novellas by authors normally associated with only the biggest publishing houses, including Bernard Cornwell (Sharpe’s Skirmish) and Peter James (The Stamp of a Criminal), as well as forthcoming titles by Lee Child and Karin Slaughter. BOTHP already has dyslexia-friendly editions of works by such authors as Thana Niveau, James Bennett, Adrian Tchaikovsky, and Garth Nix, alongside reprints of classic titles by Arthur Conan Doyle and Rudyard Kipling.
