Too many beautifully written books are rejected on a regular basis because the submitting author doesn’t have a strong enough author platform. The barriers for authors are getting higher and the publishing industry less discerning and more unscrupulous. By operating a hybrid publishing model, Cranthorpe Millner can invite authors to publish with us based on the merit of the manuscript alone. Kirsty-Ellen is an Editor and heads up Acquisition, and has always been passionate about high quality literature and publishing authors whose work deserves to be recognised in the literary world. She brings with her not just an understanding of the competitive book world, but also the compassion for authors that comes with being an author herself.
