Small Publishers Fair returns to the delight of writers and readers

LOVE writing and reading? Then you’ll be over the moon that Frome’s Small Publishers’ Fair is back after a two-year Covid-enforced absence. 

The Fair, which takes place at the Silk Mill on Saturday July 2nd, is organised by Frome Writers’ Collective and will offer a wide range of services and support to fledgling writers, while for readers there will also be an exciting selection of books from independent and specialist publishers to choose from. 

These publishers will be joined by other stands run by authors, printers and book illustrators. Prominent among them will be Frome Writers’ Collective’s own imprint. Silver Crow Books. Silver Crow offers FWC authors a range of advice, guidance, a cost-effective manuscript assessment service   and discounts with preferred self-publishing partners as well as joint marketing opportunities. 

Believed to be unique in the way it offers a friendly alternative to the often-daunting task of producing and promoting a book in isolation, Silver Crow has already helped has helped many FWC members to develop or publish their books. 

FWC’s Gill Harry said: “We are delighted to be hosting the Small Publishers Fair once again, as part of the Frome Festival programme. As before, it’s free and will be running from 10am to 3pm at the wonderful Silk Mill Gallery. It’s always a fabulous day with a great atmosphere and we’re all looking forward to meeting lots of readers, writers and illustrators.”
