UK NON-FICTION MARKET

Headpress is an independent publisher of books about the stranger things in life.

‘Headpress publishes non-fiction popular culture titles, books on cult film, music, and the like,’ said publisher David Kerekes. ‘Stuff that is a fraction of an inch out of the mainstream. For instance one of our upcoming books is on the Amazing Criswell, the Hollywood psychic of the 1950s through 1970s whose peculiar predictions were often wrong or simply too weird. He also had an acting part in the 1957 movie. Wood, you may know, is considered the worst director of all time. That’s the sort of book Headpress publishes.’
