PRESS RELEASE
9 February 2005
Salt Publishing incorporates and appoints a new director
Independent literary publisher Salt Publishing has become an incorporated
company and appointed a new director, Linda Bennett, to take charge of
business development. Salt, founded as a partnership in 2002 by Chris
Hamilton-Emery, poet and former Director of Production at CUP and his wife
Jen, and supported by internationally-renowned poet John Kinsella, has a
growing reputation for innovative publishing in biography, international
poetry and literary criticism.
Linda Bennett, formerly an academic and director of several library supply
and retail companies, founded Gold Leaf four years ago to provide business
development consultancy and market research to the book industry. She will
work part-time for Salt.
Chris Hamilton-Emery says: ³Becoming a limited company gives us more
flexibility as well as more credibility, now that we are growing so rapidly.
Linda became interested in us originally because of the innovative
production methods that we use; she quickly saw the potential of the list,
and is helping Salt both to consolidate its customer base and to expand into
new markets.²
