Salt Books is an excellent publisher who put out exciting books that most multi-nationals wouldn't go near. Think I've bought more @saltpublishing.com titles than any other Indie (bar the ones that publish me, anyway) Why not help them grow? gofund.me/f8293c76d

Terrific review of The Marriage Contract in The Sunday Times:

'Sasha Butler’s debut novel is a convincing evocation of Tudor England and a subtle exploration of the different forms love can take.’ —Nick Rennison, The Sunday Times

Just started The Anechoic Chamber and Other Weird Tales (2025) by @willwiles.bsky.social published by @saltpublishing.com and based on a @raynewman.bsky.social endorsement

Three stories in and it’s really great. Stylistically diverse and highly addictive without resorting to pastiche 🤌👌👍
