Welcome to Picnic Publishing. 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'.
What nonsense. Our authors, artists and photographers
are diverse, distinct and interesting people,
their work second to none: the result is a cultural,
visual, international, entertaining and imaginative
mix. You can talk to them on our author's blog
link.
There are no brand messages in our titles. We
provide books for readers, not products for
consumers. We publish what interests us, including
politics - and are not afraid to use the word.
Our non-fiction is a mix of attitude and research.
So is our fiction. Here a swipe at 'the market'.
For the most part, publishers are concentrating
on non-fiction because globalised branding means
relatively few new fiction writers can make
it. In addition, much of the new fiction that
is being published is targeted at the under-35s.
At Picnic, we are not so ageist...
Unlike many an established house, we are not
run on interns. This said, we are proud of ours
and commend them and Sussex university where
they are studying.
Thank you for visiting our site. Hoping you
will return.
