This November and December, 15 independent publishers are opening a collaboratively run bookshop at Copeland Park in Peckham, in a space generously provided by Peckham Platform, a creative and educational charity working with local communities and artists. We will be occupying the space alongside Peckham Platform and partnering on future workshops and events.
But this will not be an ordinary bookshop. It will be run by the publishers ourselves.
Participating publishers: Book Works · Cassava Republic Press · Cipher Press · Fitzcarraldo Editions · Hajar Press · Monitor Books · Out-Spoken Press · Peninsula Press · Prototype · Rough Trade Books · Silver Press · Sticky Fingers · Tenement Press · the87press · Tilted Axis Press.
Between us, we publish fiction, poetry, essays, translation, art books, political writing, experimental literature and work that expands what publishing can be. We are bringing our books, our labour, our audiences and our experience into one shared space.
We warmly invite you to celebrate with us at the shop’s soft launch!
