From 1st April 2008, Independent Northern Publishers will no longer receive funding from Arts Council England as part of their portfolio of Regularly Funded Organisations. This does not affect the activities or funding situations of the member publishers.

Many of our formal activities as an umbrella organisation - book events, seminars and networking meetings for publishers - will now be wound down.

Our websites www.northernpublishers.co.uk and www.literaturenortheast.co.uk will still be maintained by a volunteer and sponsorship from a local company.

In the meantime, book orders can still be made via INP, or directly to the publishers.

From 1st March our new postal address is:

INP/ Literature NorthEast
PO Box 990
Newcastle upon Tyne NE99 2US

Email addresses remain the same.

All queries can be directed to either info@northernpublishers.co.uk or crista@literaturenortheast.co.uk

We'd like to thank the Arts Council for their previous support.
