Change takes place on the margins which is why, at Bryn Glas Books, we aspire to PUBLISHING ON THE EDGE. If you’re looking for comfort, curling up with a book may be an enticing idea. But books can also take us outside our comfort-zones and change how we view the world. Anyone who’s had the pleasure of immersing themselves in a novel knows the power of well-crafted story-telling. We may emerge inspired or disturbed. We may experience an epiphany moment and see more clearly where we only glimpsed dimly before. It’s this transformative power that Bryn Glas Books seeks to uphold, along with the simple pleasure of fine writing.
Our writers are radical thinkers. In his Isle Fincara Trilogy A G Rivett explores ideas that are ancient but challenge the mainstream view. In Vu Kenneth Sinclair garners the riches of twenty centuries but breaks ground with a new form. Bryn Glas Books is a small independent publisher based in Wales that seeks new vision while connecting with timeless values. This awareness and this aspiration underlie all the books we publish through our Pantolwen Press imprint.
