Three of the novels on the Booker long list of 13 come from independent publishers. Jane Rogers, a lecturer on the MA in Creative Writing at Sheffield Hallam University, had The Testament of Jessie Lamb turned down by a number of mainstream publishers despite the fact it is her eighth novel AND and she has been long listed in the past for the Booker, so hardly a real out-on-a-limb-the-branch-is-nearly-breaking risk.
It has now been published by a small Scottish independent,
Sandstone Press.
Thoughts that occur to me
- Never give up
- Even when you think you've arrived, you haven't
- Never give up
