Picnic Publishing Information

We are a new independent house called 'Picnic' because we believe we are offering reading treats to suit all. We are immensely proud of our inaugural 2008 - 2009 list offering fiction, non-fiction and children's titles and are particularly grateful to the Independent Publishers Guild (IPG) for the kindness and encouragement of its staff. Much to our excitement, it has put us forward for mentoring by one of the all time greats in the business, Faber. It is fashionable to talk in terms of 'challenges' - and launching a new venture on a shoe-string just as recession bites is certainly this - but there is one we meet with absolute confidence. V S Naipul is reported to have said there are 'no more great writers'.
