Breakthrough is a collective of authors that has created an innovative, award-winning independent publisher putting freedom and fairness for creatives – and quality and originality for readers – at the heart of its ethos. A diverse and eclectic list includes fiction and non-fiction, debuts and series, YA and adult sci-fi/fantasy, love stories, mysteries and thrillers, humour and satire, business books and short story anthologies.

Goat Star Books is a UK-based publisher specializing in translations of poetry from and into English. It is a poetic project that is based on the idea that poets are the unrecognized legislators of the world, in the famous words of Percy Bysshe Shelley. Our vocation is to use the translation of poetry as a bridge of understanding between cultures, making known different voices from both the present and the past and both in Spain and the United Kingdom.

The Little Review is the pocket magazine for anyone interested in poetry. It is sold in more UK bookshops than any other magazine dedicated to poetry.

In each issue you will find pithy reviews, erudite essays, stylish comic-strips, impertinent interviews, a fiendish literary crossword and a handful of new poems.

Poetry magazines can be very dull. The Little Review is not a poetry magazine. We are a magazine – one that just happens to be entirely about poetry.
