Announcing A New Railway Publishing Venture

ANNOUNCING THE LAUNCH OF A MAJOR NEW NAME IN TRANSPORT PUBLISHING

The History Press, the UK's leading publisher of special interest and local history books, whose portfolio already contains such well-known names as Tempus and Spellmount, has announced a significant investment in the field of railway and road transport publishing with the launch of a new imprint, Great Western Press. Headed by Tom Ferris, a former director of Midland Publishing, this is the first time there has been an imprint within the company solely dedicated to books in these areas.

Great Western Press will publish books by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. It will aspire to the highest editorial and production values. Supported by a focused sales, marketing and promotional strategy, the first new titles will be released in 2008.

Tom and the team at GWP would like to hear from potential authors and would welcome feedback from road and rail enthusiasts as to the subjects they would like to see covered in future publications. They can be contacted at [email protected] or on 01285 760000.
