Publisher. Always independent.
News
Dispatches, celebrations and general goings-on
From our newsletter: the first of a series about the day-to-day of working in publishing (featuring endless mailings and a needy office dog).
Tilda Swinton is one of the most celebrated actors of her generation. She is also an iconoclast, an artist, a style icon and, now, an author.
In our newsletter, to mark the publication of The Pen by Simon Garfield, our own Robert Collins writes about the book, the implement that inspired it and his own stationery preferences.
From now on, royalties for all Canongate contracts will be paid four times a year rather than twice, getting money into authors’ and agents’ hands more regularly and more quickly.
We are receiving multiple messages every day from writers who have been targeted by fraudulent emails pretending to come from Canongate editors. Please be extremely wary of approaches like these. Here’s what to look out for.
