We’re really proud of the comic book storytellers we’re able to give a publishing platform too via our .comics imprint, which we’ll hoping to grow over the next few years. Our latest graphic novel collaboration, the occult mystery “Mr Jones’s Smoking Bones” written by Iqbal Ali with art by Priscilla Grippa, comes out this November, but you can pre-order direct from .media < www.b7media.com/shop/ >, which will help us support further indie comic book creators.

Publisher came across creator/writer Iqbal Ali a few years back and was immediately struck by Iqbal’s self-published indie series. He was determined to help Iqbal find a wider audience, so we’re delighted to be publishing the entire series over two volumes.

Sewell says about Mr Jones’s Smoking Bones: “Iqbal has set his story in 1867 during a fascinating period in British colonial history, melding a supernatural mystery story, with the politics of the time, not shying away from the inherent racism. It’s a story that intrigues and demands your attention from the first page, with hints of science fiction, and not a superhero in sight, which is refreshing. It’s exactly this kind of rich, character led stories that defines what B7 Comics is all about.”

There are multiple awards events out their recognising the creativity and originality of the audio producer - some are excellent like the AudioUK backed Audio Production Awards (focusing on celebrating the craft behind the production) - but for most producers in the indie sector, fighting to even fund their ideas, they’re often excluded due to the prohibitive cost of entry and the fact that many awards initiatives (like The British Podcast Awards) are first and foremost driven by the commercial imperative to attract advertisers and sponsors. As a consequence indie talent tends to get muscled out of contention, unable to compete with the major players with their deep pockets and marketing budgets, etc.

The British Independent Audiobook Awards (BIAA’s) is looking to redress this inequality—with a brand new awards event dedicated to recognising and celebrating the unique achievements of the best independent talent in audio of all types, rewarding creativity, originality, and collaboration across the indie audio sector.

As the founder of these awards Colin Sinclair of Behear says: “We know that the most powerful audio stories are often born outside the mainstream, crafted by artists who are passionate about bringing characters and worlds to life in their own way. The BIAA’s were founded to shine a spotlight on those voices—celebrating originality, innovation, and the spirit of collaboration that drives our creative community.”

That’s a sentiment to be applauded and B7 Media’s producers Andrew Mark Sewell and Helen Quigley have joined an impressive line-up of judges for its inaugural year. So why not enter now? Submissions close at midnight on the 31st of September> www.behear.co.uk/biaas

Please join producers Andrew Mark Sewell and Matthew Devlen in reminiscing about the unforgettable journey of making "Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont" with the late, great Dan Ireland — including the now-legendary film backlot created near Hyde Park that brought the film to life for less than a million quid, at a time when many said it couldn’t be done in London. You'll also have a chance to connect with cast & crew, reuniting for the first time in 20 years. Some tickets are still available to book here... https://raindance.eventive.org/schedule/mrs-palfrey-at-the-claremont-q-a-with-filmmakers-682b786a559b18dda073a216

Awards nomination klaxon! Our World War II audio drama “Unsinkable” (a .media co-production with Datura Studios, North Atlantic Ridge and AudioMarvels) has been nominated for a Webby at the 29th Annual Webby Awards. We are now competing for the internet’s two most coveted Awards (their words not ours) - The Webby Award and The Webby People’s Voice Award.

If you enjoyed our series please do vote for “Unsinkable” here (we’re one of five nominees for Limited-Series & Specials / Scripted (Fiction)
https://vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting #/2025/podcasts/limited-series-specials/scripted-fiction

In addition to the WeBBY nomination UNSINKABLE has also just been nominated by the UK’s Radio Academy for Best Drama. You can see all the nominations here https://www.radioacademy.org/2025-arias-nominees/

That’s the 4th major nomination the show’s received and for a collective of boutique indies competing against the likes of Audible and the BBC we’re certainly punching above our weight. These nominations are especially pleasing given that this series was rejected by all the major audio platforms, was independently financed and was the No. 1 fiction podcast in several territories. Huge kudos to the cast and crew.
