The Broken Binding Launches Publishing Arm – Breaking News

The Broken Binding Press will publish Science Fiction and Fantasy. Launched during lockdown, independent bookshop The Broken Binding has seen a meteoric rise in the publishing industry, focusing on bespoke Sci Fi and Fantasy special edition subscription boxes, as well as branching out into exclusive and limited editions of genre titles, including debuts and backlist series. 

Looking ahead to 2025, Founder and Director Matt Holland will be launching his own publishing arm – The Broken Binding Press – with a focus on core genre fiction, publishing original works across science fiction and fantasy including releases from SFF giants Ryan Cahill, Richard Swan, and more. 

The Broken Binding Press founder and publisher Matt says:

‘THE BROKEN BINDING PRESS is a brilliant opportunity to use our existing reach to champion incredible books and authors, as well as working more agilely and collaboratively with our authors and using our passion to find even more readers.  We are in a unique position as a publisher and retailer to launch books in Science Fiction and Fantasy spaces, and be really hands-on across all aspects of the process.’ 

To ensure its books reach the widest audience possible, the publisher will guarantee promotion across all of The Broken Binding’s engaged social media platforms, marketing and PR spend, as well as working closely with the authors on the book package. 

Genre PR & Marketing specialists Black Crow will be working with The Broken Binding to help publicise the brand and titles. ‘It’s incredible what Matt’s been able to achieve in such a short space of time’, says PR Jamie-Lee Nardone, ‘and it’s so exciting to see how much appetite and passion he has for genre fiction. As a fellow nerd and peer from a working-class background, I have absolute admiration and respect for him and the team, and how agile and proactive publishing can be. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store.’ 

Matt will be at WorldCon this week hosting various author appearances and signings at The Broken Binding stand.
