Dear Readers,
It has been a while! Though we’ve been far from idle, it is high time that we reintroduce ourselves. So, here is a heartfelt hello from the dedicated team at Medina Publishing, based on the Isle of Wight.
Our central mission at Medina Publishing is to bridge cultures, embrace diversity and celebrate the rich tapestry of literature spanning various genres. Throughout our journey, we’ve had the privilege of sharing works that transcend boundaries, languages and traditions. Our publications have introduced readers to the enchanting world of central Asian literature, the captivating narratives of the Middle East and the untold tales of extraordinary individuals around the globe.
Our catalogue remains diverse and vibrant offering a wide array of titles. From spine-tingling short stories, wild sea adventures or thought-provoking non-fiction, we have something to capture your fascination.
Recently we have had the honour of presenting remarkable tales such as ‘The Last Adventurer’ by Fons Oerlemans and his wife Kee Arens – a story of achieving the impossible during multiple, highly dangerous Atlantic crossings, none of them in a boat! We’ve also welcomed best-selling children’s author Peter J Murray into our ranks whose latest book “The Darker Side of Wight” has sparked the imagination of kids and adults alike!
With Peter J Murray and High Sheriff Dawn-Haig Thomas, ‘The Darker Side of Wight’ has emerged as a significant component of the children’s literacy campaign on the Isle of Wight. Looking ahead to 2024, we are excited about the potential to expand our support for this initiative, with the goal of inspiring even more children to embrace the joy of reading!
We’re immensely proud of the contributions we’ve made to historical literature this year, including ‘100 Treasures and Curiosities’ published in partnership with Carisbrooke Castle Museum and ‘Rose Castle & Crown’, a compelling military history book by Patrick Crowley about Hampshire and the Isle of Wight’s brave citizen soldiers.
Unlike many other small publishers who focus on a particular genre, Medina Publishing caters to a wide range of interests, be it history, travel, art or simply a captivating narrative. The driving force behind all our endeavours is our CEO, Peter Harrigan, who takes immense pride in being the heart of Medina Publishing.
