Featuring stunning illustrations from the British Library’s rich medieval collection, Dogs in Medieval Manuscripts provides – through discussion of dogs both real and imaginary – an astonishing picture of the relationship of dogs to humans in the medieval world.
It’s not just brilliant fiction that we’re publishing – we’ve also put out incredible non-fiction titles so far this year, covering topics like the history of tattooing, the second world war seen through maps, a cartographical quiz book, and dogs in Medieval manuscripts!

Found this on the William Blake Society Facebook group. I always knew there was a deep connection between Blake and comics! I tend to think of Blake’s illuminated manuscripts (the combination of words and images) as a precursor to modern-day comics.

Time to dig into my developmental feedback. Reviewed all notes yesterday. No surprises, but I've work to do. I don’t want to waste time for any agent or publisher with a manuscript that isn’t quite ready.
A big thank you to all #editors out there! 💐
