Hellish

We press publisher and writer SAM JORDISON for the five tracks he will meet in Hell!


Sam is one half of Galley Beggar Press, the small independent publisher with a bunch of big hits to its name: Eimear McBride's Women's Prize winning A Girl is a Half Formed Thing, Lucy Ellman's Booker-shortlisted Ducks, Newburyport and Alex Pheby's Cities of the Weft trilogy to name but a few.


Sam talked us through what it's like to found and then run a small press, including the economic challenges, and sifting through the submissions pile. He also talked about his writing career, including the now-legendary Crap Towns series.
