Salt!

Salt Publishing. One of the good guys. They publish high quality work. They publish in areas neglected by many other publishers. And they have been hit.

If you go here, you’ll see the details and how you can help.

There has been some discussion about whether they should have been so frank. Well, for what my opinion is worth, I think they have got this just right. They are being honest and transparent (something some other publishers could learn from). They are asking for people to do nothing more than buy a book. It’s what publishers do. Sell books. It’s what we should be doing. Supporting good publishers. Because if these good publishers go all we are left with are the corporate dinosaurs who are more interested in the size of their profit and the dividend to their shareholders than they are in the quality of the work they produce.

So.

Add a little savour to your life.

Get some Salt.
