December 2022
It's always important to assess how a business is progressing and time has certainly flown by since I established this fledgling small press, Tim Saunders Publications, at the start of the year. I have been pleasantly surprised at how it has evolved. During this year we have sold more than 700 books. What started out as a way for me to publish my own books, quickly burgeoned into something far more important than that. Being surrounded by such talent is actually inspiring me to write more of my own work so I really can't grumble. In less than 12 months I have published 14 anthologies, many of them regional; covering England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. There has even been one in America: The America Collection. They are a wonderful platform for little-known through to more established writers and poets. And they have been well received by all accounts.
Now it seems that the G20 nations including the United Kingdom, are officially in recession thanks to the war in Ukraine, Brits must endure the highest inflation since 1981 and probably the most strikes we have ever known, too. During such challenging times there is little better than losing ourselves in new and exciting literature, but it can also help us tackle our shared problems and anxieties.
New authors
I have been introduced to some extremely talented writers and poets and now represent 10 of them in England, Wales, America and Australia. This has resulted in me publishing the following books for my authors during 2022:
A Life Worth Living by Mary Cochrane
Faze by MJ White
A Time of Reflection by Margaret Hughes
A Dream of Destiny by DoLoraVi
Dreams Can Come True by Rebecca Mansell
The Adventures of Mitch by Paul Franklin
What If? by Carolyn Thrum
Tourist to the Sun by Virginia Betts
Poetry as Prozac by Jamie Tucknutt
Over the course of the year I have received some encouraging media coverage too, in the form of radio interviews and articles in newspapers and magazines in England and America including Writing Magazine where I received a nice review for which I am grateful.
Next year is looking just as exciting, with more anthologies and books for authors in the pipeline.
