Meet our 2021 list: INKLINGS!
We’ll cut to the chase: INKLINGS HAVE ARRIVED We’ve been working on our brand new non-fiction series for the past six months and it’s exciting to come back with a bang, particularly given this past year, and share them at last: eight new books, eight brilliant authors, eight different topics. They will publish between July-December 2021. You can pre-order them now.
Inklings was launched to take deep dives into a variety of thought-provoking subjects in a small and accessible package. Books for the curious reader looking to learn or be entertained, to carry around in your pocket. Further information can be found on our Crowdfunder, but for now: meet your amazing launch Inklings authors and books!

We previously mentioned that our Inklings would be launching via Crowdfunder as part of the Creative Scotland Crowdmatch initiative. While we’re always excited to launch new books and pre-orders, this one is extra important: the initiative offers the opportunity for match funding from Creative Scotland for up to £10,000, if we can reach various targets first. We’re in a competition of sorts alongside 19 other organisations and projects. Effectively, the sooner we hit various targets, the higher the chance of receiving match funding, which - for a small business navigating a pandemic - is a rare gift, so if you’d be planning on pre-ordering the books, doing that super soon would be cool!!
But, enough of the sales pitch for the initiative, what matters most is this: these authors are amazing! We cannot wait to share these books with you. This is our 2021 list. It’s brilliant. Get ready.
