We are thrilled to announce that we are signing another author in 2020. This is dependent on getting a suitable advance and marketing budget.

Check out this project which features amazing rewards for funders. Choose anything from an editorial review of your book, to naming a character in a new novel!

But who are Crowvus?!

We're a small independent publisher based in the far north of Scotland. Here at 58.4389°N, 3.0937°W, we are blessed with long summer days and premature winter nights. This must be a contributing factor in why we love reading so much in this little corner of Scotland.

But that's not the only reason.

We've also loved being a part of the publishing journey for so many writers. We love to hear from writers we've helped on their way through our annual ghost story competitions, as well as celebrating the four writers who currently make up the group of Crowvus Authors.

What's this project all about?
We love working with our authors so much, we'd like to sign another one!

Because of the scale at which we're currently running (on average five books a year), we're looking to our readers and fellow writers to help support us in this venture. We have stacks of rewards for all budgets, for writers and readers alike. Whether it's an advanced preview copy of all our 2020 books, or a content edit of your new manuscript (up to 100,000 words), Crowvus welcomes your support and can't wait to hear from you!

Why support us?
Our books have enjoyed great successes, from launches in schools to Amazon bestseller lists. But above all, we produce books readers love to read! But you don't have to take our word for it. Here are some of our reviews and comments:

"Could not put this book down. Great reading. Loved this historical romance from this young and talented author. Please write many more." ~ review of Day's Dying Glory
"This is a grabbing fantasy, not only for middle graders but will hook older readers as well." ~ review of Taking Wing
"So pleased to see this book come to fruition." ~ comment from a Book Launch in the Crowvus guestbook

So, please, step aboard and *Share the Adventure*!
