This directory of small and independent book publishers and literary magazines in the UK and the Republic of Ireland is a vital resource for writers of novels, memoir, poetry, short stories, non-fiction and more. The Writers' and Artists' Yearbook covers all the big mainstream publishers, but ignores the 'indie press' sector. The unique Indie Press Guide was created to address this glaring gap in the market. This comprehensive, easy to navigate resource will help all writers, regardless of gender, plan where to send their work with information that is not readily available anywhere else. This is the 3rd Edition of the Guide, which Mslexia has been successfully selling from its website since 2016. It is updated biennially to keep pace with changes in the energetic and fast-changing indie sector - which is why 25% of people who bought the 1st Edition also purchased the 2nd Edition. The 3rd Edition boasts well over 600 entries, up from 450 in the 1st Edition. 'The indie press landscape is changing rapidly. An area of publishing that tended to be overlooked back in 2015 - when we began research for the first edition of this Guide - is becoming a watchword for quality'
The delicate Postminimalist sculptures and drawings of the American artist Al Taylor (1948-1999) were for a long time better known in Europe than in the U.S., despite Taylor's residing in New York. Laboring quietly from the mid-1980s until his premature death from cancer at the age of 51, Taylor made abstract drawings and sculptures derived from found materials that refresh both abstraction and Postminimalism with their gentle humor and lightness of touch. Working in a decade that favored less discreet gestures, Taylor never loomed large in the New York art world's consciousness (despite his brief tenure as a studio assistant to Robert Rauschenberg). Alongside an increasing number of exhibitions, this publication helps to remedy that oversight, providing a catalogue raisonn of Taylor's graphic works, thereby retrieving a previously little-known aspect of his oeuvre. Aside from the published prints, it also reproduces all of the artist's proofs and variants, which often differ significantly from the final versions.
