The publishing industry had believed for too long that dyslexic adults didn't read (despite the huge range available for children, who would eventually grow up!🤷‍♀️), which simply wasn't good enough.

Why couldn't an adult with dyslexia enjoy the same books as everyone else?

So in 2020, we did something to change that, becoming the 1st UK trade publisher to produce dyslexic-friendly fiction for adults. With a bigger, dyslexic-friendly font, increased line and letter spacing, and creme paper to prevent glare, our books are accessible to dyslexic readers (and the vision impaired as well).

We've won industry awards for our determination to break the rules in publishing and don't plan on stopping anytime soon! Our core belief that great stories should be accessible to everyone is as true today as it was five years ago. We’ll keep making a change, because the publishing industry needs it. Readers need it. And readers deserve it.
