Yorkshire Post: Peepal power as book publisher hits 40 years
The Yorkshire Post has published an article about the 40th anniversary of Peepal Tree Press, and our history in Leeds, as well as the role we play internationally. It talks about our writer development work, our publishing strategy ("long sellers not bestsellers"), and the awards we have won:
The State of the Arts: "40 years of publishing brilliant authors"
The State of the Arts recently published an article about Peepal Tree's anniversary, penned by Jess Hill. The article covers our big birthday bash at the University of Leeds last month. "This is what Peepal Tree is celebrating. 40 years of privileging marginalised voices and publishing brilliant authors with unique stories to share, which may otherwise have gone unrecognised," writes Hill.
The Guardian writes about 40 years of Peepal Tree
The Guardian recently published an article about Peepal Tree's history, after Nesrine Malik spoke with Jeremy Poynting and Jacob Ross. "Peepal Tree is a rare story of an independent publisher that has not only survived and thrived, but stayed close to its roots," Nesrine writes. Jeremy talks about the history of the press, while Jacob talks about mentoring artists, writing for a Caribbean perspective, and why commercial publishing doesn't always serve Caribbean and Black British writers.
