Scrappy young Jimmy is a pro wrestler in the making, and he’s up for taking on anyone and anything. From his own family, his schoolwork, wild animals and pirates, he’s challenging the world one small fight at a time, but can his hopes and dreams take him all the way to stellar success? Or will his fists finally get him into too much trouble? Jimmy aspires to be JIMMY RUCKUS, world famous featherweight. But living in his eleven-strong house means that Jimmy is the last thing on anyone's minds. He knows he’s destined for greatness, so he sets off to seek his fortune. What he finds are circus animals, painters, pirates and heavyweight champs, each one challenging Jimmy’s idea of success. By the end of it, Jimmy realises he has to decide whether living life fist first is all it’s cracked up to be. Lara Kaminoff is a cartoonist and book-slinger living in Seattle with her beloved and their cat, Creeper. She’s inspired by an endless parade of podcasts, the magical world of fungi, brilliant friends, climbable trees, and danceable floors. Right now she’s probably talking too fast, thinking too hard or trying to fix something that ain’t broke. 4

You’ll also meet three royal brothers off on a quest to save the king and perhaps claim the crown for themselves. Who will prevail? Who will find true love? And which one is worthy of the mystical golden apples?

Daring escapades abound in the action-packed adventures of plucky twins, Stig and Tilde. Local tradition states that when a child turns 14, they have to survive all alone on an island for one year. Now, it’s time for Stig and Tilde to take up the challenge. After one too many wrong turns, the twins finally arrive on the right island. Hot showers, Wi-Fi, all day barbecue - this must be heaven! But there’s trouble stirring on the island and maybe paradise isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Can Stig and Tilde weather the storm one more time? Max de Radiguès is a Belgian cartoonist and publisher for L'employé Du Moi and the Sarbacane. In September 2009, he was invited to one year residency at the prestigious Center for Cartoon Studies in Vermont. He recounted his year of residency in his book Meanwhile in White River Junction from Six Feet Under the Earth, which was part of the official selection of the Angoulême International Comics Festival 2012.

FICTION AIDEN SHAW'S PENIS

Imprint 27 is a bold, new literary list to celebrate experimental writing in fiction and non fiction. It will launch in 2021 to champion breakthrough voices who have something important to say or a brilliant story to tell. This new list will appeal to a contemporary readership who want to read surprising, provocative and inspiring books. Nobrow has an established visual aesthetic in illustrated books and we’re excited to bring this to the form of the novel by merging with authors who love to experiment with the form of the content. Imprint 27’s aim is to become home to the next great writing heroes who are not afraid to stand out from the crowd, and find their feet with an independent publisher not afraid to take a risk. Our small and curated list will grab readers and champion dynamic fiction and non-fiction writing.

hat does it mean to be silenced, to be censored? Or perhaps, more importantly, what does it mean to break free?

Bringing together 12 exciting and emerging fiction and non-fiction writers from around the world, This anthology explores the censoring of the past, present, future, the self; the state; and the effects of censorship on everyday life. This collection will provide readers with a diverse, relatable and surprising look at censorship while celebrating high quality short form writing.
