  Dear readers,

  As well as relying on bookshop sales, And Other Stories relies on subscriptions from people like you for many of our books, whose stories other publishers often consider too risky to take on.

  Our subscribers don’t just make the books physically happen. They also help us approach booksellers, because we can demonstrate that our books already have readers and fans. And they give us the security to publish in line with our values, which are collaborative, imaginative and ‘shamelessly literary’.

  All of our subscribers:

  receive a first-edition copy of each of the books they subscribe to

  are thanked by name at the end of our subscriber-supported books

  receive little extras from us by way of thank you, for example: postcards created by our authors

  Become a subscriber, or give a subscription

  to a friend

  Visit andotherstories.org/subscribe to help make our books happen. You can subscribe to books we’re in the process of making. To purchase books we have already published, we urge you to support your local or favourite bookshop and order directly from them – the often unsung heroes of publishing.

  Other Ways to Get Involved

  If you’d like to know about upcoming events and reading groups (our foreign-language reading groups help us choose books to publish, for example) you can:
