When we set up & Publishing, oh a few weeks ago now, it was with the intention of developing one or two magazine and book ideas we’ve been obsessing about for some time. Yes, the bulk of our business is beautiful bespoke for our lovely clients, but we want to bespoke a bit for ourselves too.
Too early to share any more information on these mysterious magazines just yet, but not too early to announce that we’re delighted that the rather wonderful Charlotte Greig is going to be joining us as an Editorial Consultant to develop some of these projects. Charlotte has had a sterling career in publishing, most recently at Picador as Senior Editor. We’re not bigging her up because we like her so much but because she’s a serious talent – here’s what Picador Publisher Paul Baggaley has to say:
“She has been a brilliant editor with a wonderful eye for a commercial literary title, most recently of course the bestselling Guernica, and is adored by all the writers she has worked with.”
And here’s the announcement in this week’s Bookseller – it’s official!

EIGHTEEN 74 issue 1 earns plaudits…
Since its publication at the start of the 2009-10 season, the first ever issue of eighteen74 has received plenty of praise from fans and collectors alike. Hearts fans on the Jambos Kickback forum (www.hmfckickback.co.uk) have greatly enjoyed the rich content and neat design of the magazine. The article on the great Willie Bauld, who features on the cover, was a particular hit.
Meanwhile eighteen74‘s launch has been covered in the football memorabilia magazine, Programme News. “Issue One is quite splendid”, the review in the magazine’s ‘Bookshelf’ section says. “This professionally produced, handsome and very informative magazine is excellent value for money and can serve as encouragement to historians and collectors of other major clubs to follow suit.”
