amaBooks congratulate our Welsh partner, Parthian Books, on winning Wales Publisher of the Year at the London Book Fair

Parthian Books at the London Book Fair Gathered together amongst fellow independent presses on  the IPG stand, the Parthian team cheered with delight last  Wednesday, as the regional winner for Wales was announced.  To be part of this new (and long overdue) category feels  exciting enough, but to bag the title was brilliant. Richard Davies, Publishing Director at Parthian, reflected on the victory with the following comment, "We're delighted to  receive this inaugural award. We've had a really positive year with great books such Hummingbird by Tristan Hughes  winning the Wales Book of the Year People's Choice Award  while we also had a genuine bestseller in John Martin's A  Raid Over Berlin which went into the Sunday Times  bestseller list at Christmas." Parthian have previously published three amaBooks titles  - Where to Now? Short Stories from Zimbabwe, Bryony  Rheam's This September Sun and Tendai Huchu's The  Maestro, The Magistrate and The Mathematician, and,  next month, they will be publishing Moving On and  Other Zimbabwean Stories in the United Kingdom.
