From editor to publisher
Jeremy Wilson
Before completing Lawrence of Arabia, The Authorised Biography in 1989, I had started work on a major scholarly edition of Lawrence's correspondence. However, I couldn't find a publisher. For mainstream trade publishers, the market for literary/historical correspondence is too small to be profitable. Academic publishers might have been interested - but only if I could find some way to pay my own research costs.
So, with my wife Nicole, I set up Castle Hill Press. A large part of the retail price of a book usually goes to distributors and booksellers. Because we sell to our initial subscribers direct, we can use that money to pay for research.
We take great care over editorial work, aiming for high standards. Castle Hill Press books are issued in limited editions, typeset to fine-press standards and printed by high-quality printers. Bindings range from library-quality cloth to goatskin 'specials' with additional content.
