Not all heroes wear capes, right? Some step up and fund the entire publishing programme of an independent press for a year. They donate all of the print costs to send nine new and emerging authors to print. They know that literature and talent need space and time to develop and recognise that small publishers such as Dead Ink are integral to keeping publishing healthy.

Thank you. There’s not much we can do to show you our recognition, but all of the 2017 novels will feature a front-of-book dedication to you and, as well as all of the books, you will receive letters of thanks from all of us and the authors. You’ll receive the books as they are released this June, July and August.
