About Five Leaves Publications
Five Leaves is a small but steadily growing publisher in Nottingham. Their interests include various specialist areas – from Jewish literature and general social history to poetry and fiction by writers in the East Midlands. The team are constantly extending their coverage of fiction for young adults, and the double Carnegie award writer Berlie Doherty has recently joined their catalogue with a young adult murder mystery.
Being small means Five Leaves is able to publish non-commercial material that interests us, hence the first British book on Yiddish film, as well as a book on how William Morris' ideas have come to fruition. In addition the Five Leaves backlist includes well-known commercial writers like David Belbin, Michael Rosen and Marge Piercy, and one Booker Prize winning novel — Holiday by Stanley Middleton.
In September 2007 Five Leaves launched Crime Express: a new series of short novels in flapped paperback. Crime Express has its own home page here on the Inpress website: please click here.
Though Five Leaves stand firmly in the small press tradition, their books are widely reviewed, and many of their authors are available for readings and workshops.
