Bloodhound to sign Urbane authors

Following the sad news (March 25th) that fellow independent publisher Urbane Publications Limited is to close its doors, we are pleased to announce that we will be signing the works of several of their authors and re-releasing up to 50 of their titles.

We have worked in close collaboration with Matthew Smith, Publishing Director at Urbane, to ensure that we can find an immediate solution for many of their authors.

Betsy Reavley, Director at Bloodhound Books says; “we have long-admired Urbane Publications for the excellence of their authors and books and were sad to learn that they will be closing their doors. We are however, delighted that several of their authors will be signing with Bloodhound Books and hope to have great success with re-launching their titles over the coming months.”

Matthew Smith of Urbane says; “we’re very proud that we were able to give so many talented authors a voice at Urbane, and it is reassuring to know their work will still continue to thrill and delight readers despite the company’s closure. Bloodhound is a leading publisher with a deserved reputation for high quality, bestselling titles and this will be a fantastic opportunity for those authors.”

We will be making further announcements about which authors have signed over the coming days and will be working tirelessly over the coming months to get the books back to market.
