Dear readers,
We rely on subscriptions from people like you to tell these other stories – the types of stories most UK publishers would consider too risky to take on.
Our subscribers don’t just make the books physically happen. They also help us approach booksellers, because we can demonstrate that our books already have readers and fans. And they give us the security to publish in line with our values, which are collaborative, imaginative and ‘shamelessly literary’ (the Guardian).
All of our subscribers:
- receive a first edition copy of every new book we publish
- are thanked by name in the books
- are warmly invited to contribute to our plans and choice of future books
Become a subscriber, or give a subscription to a friend
Visit andotherstories.org/subscribe to become part of an alternative approach to publishing.
Subscriptions are:
£20 for two books per year
£35 for four books per year
£50 for six books per year
The subscription includes postage to Europe, the US and Canada. If you’re based anywhere else, we’ll charge for postage separately.

Ivan Vladislavić, Double Negative
Born in Buenos Aires in 1974, Iosi Havilio is creating waves in and beyond Argentina. His work has been praised by top Argentine writers and critics including Rodolfo Fogwill and Beatriz Sarlo. Havilio’s first novel, Open Door, has been translated into English and Italian. His second novel is Estocolmo (Stockholm) and his third is Paradises. All three are now published in both Argentina and Spain. Drawing comparisons with writers as diverse as Camus and Houellebecq, critics agree only that Havilio has one of the most unique voices in literature today.
Beth Fowler was born in Inverness in 1980 and currently lives near Glasgow. She has spent time in Chile as an English teacher and is now a full-time translator from Spanish and Portuguese. In 2010 she won the inaugural Harvill Secker Young Translators’ Prize. She is also the translator of Open Door.
Alex Clark is a critic, journalist and broadcaster who lives in London. She writes for the Guardian, the Observer and the Times Literary Supplement and has judged many literary awards, including the 2008 Man Booker prize. She is also editor at large of Union Books.
