Moon Books – Small Press Big Ideas

Nimue Brown

Nov 5

This month I'm joining in with #SmallPressBigIdeas. I'm going to be blogging about some small presses, starting with Moon Books.

Moon Books is the Pagan imprint of John Hunt Publishing. I've had books there since 2012 when my first non-fic came out with them - Druidry and Meditation.

Moon Books publishes a broad array of Pagan titles, some broad and aimed at a wide Pagan market, others gloriously niche. Titles focus on individual deities, different paths, traditions modern and old… Authors contributing to Moon Books come from around the world, and represent many different ways of being human, as well.

For me, Moon Books has been a community as much as it's been a publisher. Through Moon Books, I've met a number of people I really like and who have become part of my life in other ways. This year I was at Halo Quin's Goblin Masquerade. Laura Perry sauntered over to Hopeless, Maine and designed a tarot deck for us. There are also friends at Moon Books I've known far longer than this imprint has existed - Robin Herne, Cat Treadwell, Elen Sentier, Brendan Myers. There are many authors at the imprint who I think of as friends, even if we haven't met in person. That's too long a list to type!

My experience of small publishers is that they tend to be far better at taking care of their people than big houses are. If I need to talk to the boss - Trevor Greenfield - about anything, I can count on hearing from him within the week. Usually quicker. Smaller houses don't have vast sums of money to spend on promoting books, but a lot gets done through clever use of the internet, and mutual support. Rather than seeing each other as competitors, authors at Moon Books look out for each other, share opportunities, and we all keep an eye out for books we can support. No one is ever leaned on to support a book that doesn't align with their thinking, and there's quite an array of opinions within the books so we aren't all comfortably coming from the same place all the time. The support happens where it makes sense, and thanks to that, you'll see me reviewing titles from other authors here and there. Only the books that appeal to me.
