Rymour Books

Rymour Books Rymour Books is an award-winning small Scottish independent publisher MISSION - RYMOUR BOOKS was founded in 2020. Email us at [email protected]

It incorporates books published earlier under the imprint Hog's Back, originally set up to publish books on the Scottish folk tradition (the imprint is still used for certain academic titles). Our intention is to publish quality Scottish books by current authors and reprints of works of Scottish substance worthy of further attention. We are a new (2020) independent publishing initiative designed t

o directly engage writers and readers with new literature to raise the standard of writing and reading opportunities for presentation to the public. We celebrate, promote and develop Scotland’s rich and growing literary culture by improving and sustaining quality, raising awareness, and increasing access for writers and readers. Our aim is to build accessible resources and opportunities for writers and readers in Scotland and internationally, for the public, and industry professionals alike. This resource will be available to search online with direct links to the purchase of literature. A small independent publisher, we're starting off small with the potential to be a significant national resource. This enterprise will be a significant tool in the promotion of Scotland creating trade opportunities throughout the UK and overseas. At Rymour Books we’re always on the lookout for exciting new partners to work with. We’re proud to have a diverse and dynamic range of books and authors in our catalogue, and we know that working with partners is essential to our business success. Whether you’re a print or e-book retailer, a brand, a start-up or something completely different, if you have an opportunity for us or believe we could do something innovative and interesting together, we’d be pleased to hear from you.

HOT OFF THE PRESS!

Rymour Books are Country Finalists in Small Press of the Year in the British Book Awards for the FOURTH time in five years. (Just for the record, in their terms a small press has a turnover of less than £5M, so that is a lot of Scottish publishers).

This massive collection of nearly 1000 poems spanning 750 pages should now confirm Neill as one of the most prolific and accomplished poets of the Scottish literary renaissance of the twentieth century! Drawing courtesy of Gerry Mangan.

I'm sorry to report that Robin Lloyd-Jones passed away last night. Born in 1934, he was one of Scotland's finest writers over many decades, noted for his award-winning novels and non-fiction. I was privileged to be able to publish his last two books: Scottish Wilderness Connection, essays and poems in praise of the Scottish landscape, and Gods of the Lost Crossroads, a novel which was recently shortlisted for a major international prize. I saw him only 10 days ago. He was very frail and tired but aware of his situation and comfortable. His wife, Sallie, cared for him until the end.
