2024 year round-up

Posted on December 11, 2024

We’re taking a look back and celebrating all the books we have published this year, and the brilliant authors behind them.

We’ve travelled from Mexico to the Hebrides, from Venice to the American South, travelled back in time and out to the galaxies. We’ve star gazed surrounded by dark skies, immersed ourselves in nature and discovered the delights of winter.

In January, Andrés N. Ordorica was selected as one of The Observer’s top 10 debut authors for 2024, and The Salt and the Flame was The Times historical fiction Book of the Month.

In February we published What Doesn’t Kill Us, which has just won Fiction Book of the Year at Scotland’s National Book Awards… and so the year continued.

In August, How We Named the Stars was chosen as a Dua Lipa’s Service95 Fiction Recommendation and Beach Read!

In October we published the final book in a unique trilogy by double Booker-listed author Graeme Macrae Burnet, to universal critical acclaim. Graeme was also the first guest on the brand new BBC Radio 4 Take Four Books programme.

Finally, six of our books have made Books of the Year lists for national publications from The Scotsman to The Spectator.

We were shortlisted ourselves for Small Press of the Year (The Bookseller) and for an audiobooks prize (IPG). We also celebrated our 30th year anniversary!

In short, it’s been something of an epic year, and we are indebted to our authors and readers for making it happen!
