Gritstone Publishing Co-operative

Britain has a new publishing company, Gritstone Publishing, the first to be established as an author-run co-operative.

Gritstone specialises in publishing non-fiction and fiction titles relating to the landscape and the countryside. Its four founder members are all experienced outdoor writers and journalists who have decided that, by establishing Gritstone as a fully mutual co-operative, they will be able to exercise more control over the way that their work is published.
