Dear All,

2014 – what a year! The past 12 months have been an exciting time for
both us and our authors.

Our titles have received international recognition, through both

worldwide media exposure and nominations for prestigious book
prizes, such as The People’s Book Prize.

We had a brilliant time at the London Book Fair in April, where

hundreds of our books were showcased to some of the key players in
the industry, and we relished the opportunity to catch up with some
of you too!

Throughout the year we embarked on many exciting new endeav-

ours, including the production of book trailers and audio books – one
of the fastest growing mediums in today’s rapidly evolving publish-
ing industry.

September saw the launch of our new and improved website, and we
enjoyed hearing so much of your positive feedback. We also began
producing a new monthly newsletter, and we would like to take this
opportunity to thank those of you who have signed up so far. If you
haven’t yet, you can do so at the bottom of our homepage:
http://austinmacauley.com/

Thank you all for being part of such a fantastic year – and we hope
that you have all had a great start to 2015!

expression of raw human emotion. Gyasi is a master of rhythm,
and skilfully weaves words into verse; the poems in ‘Russian
Midnights’ flow off the tongue when read aloud. The collection
can be dark and disturbing at times, with some poems having
an element of surrealism and a dream-like quality. There is a
recurring and profound sense of loss throughout the collection.
The poems are guaranteed to leave an imprint on the reader
long after the book has been put down.
