BOOK LAUNCH: 5th October – Nowhere Near Hollywood by Mark SaFranko
Wednesday, September 4th, 2019
Nowhere Near Hollywood by Mark SaFranko, coming to bookshops and PayPal enabled websites near you, this October.
That’s right folks, despite our inadequacies as both professionals and human beings, the great Mark SaFranko has once again decided to park his latest novel – the next in the Max Zajack series (Hating Olivia, Lounge Lizard, Dirty Work) – in the poorly lit and slightly seedy Honest Publishing car park – no place to walk without your mother.
BOOK LAUNCH:
We’re launching Nowhere Near Hollywood at Hillingdon Literary Festival. Mark will be joining us as part of his European tour at Brunel University, 5th October, where he’ll be appearing on stage to talk about the new book and his work as a writer.
Hillingdon Literary Festival is back for its fifth year at Brunel University, London. A FREE festival (now we’ve piqued your interest…) of performances, readings, workshops, signings, and so much more – open to everyone in the wider community. The festival features world-renowned authors and celebrates local talent across a lively weekend of activities.
Registration is free and tickets are available here!
Book Launch: 20 Sep @The Nines, Peckham
Sunday, August 28th, 2016And now ladies and gentlemen, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Lllllllllet’s get ready to Buuuuuuuuuuundlllllllllllllllllllllllllle….
The Date: 20th September.
The Time: 7:30pm.
The Venue: The Nines, Peckham, South London.
The Vibe: Groovy. Baby.
It’s the Honest Publishing Bundle on the Bookshelf book launch! To be Honest, there isn’t really any bundling. But there are some books and we have no doubt whatsoever there’ll be a shelf there somewhere. Come and help us celebrate the launch of Love and Fuck Poems by Koraly Dimitriadis (“Wow. Dimitriadis pulls no punches here. This is armed-missile poetry.”) and Belly Up! by Darren Allen and William Barker (featuring the pen work of Robert Crumb and The New Yorker‘s John O’Brien – a mad, butcherous, sweet, caustic carnival of surreal beauty and salt-in-the-eye satire).
What more could you possibly ask for from a Tuesday night? (And we’ve put a packet of bourbons* behind the bar – first come, first served. And some wine. Not much though, it’s expensive…)
The Nines, Peckham:
*Only two biscuits per person.

The Suicide Featured in Foyles The Best Fiction of 2014
Tuesday, December 16th, 2014Congratulations to us (and of course Mark SaFranko, who also played quite a large role…) for The Suicide featuring in this year’s Foyles The Best Fiction of 2014.
We’re number…one, two, three, four…well it doesn’t actually matter because it’s not in order (nine…) but being there at all is very nice indeed.
The Suicide ‘Special Edition’
Friday, September 12th, 2014We’re very happy to announce that we’ve got 25 special edition copies of The Suicide featuring signed and numbered postcards from Mr. SaFranko himself. Bourbon not included.
COMPETITION NOW CLOSED [Jan 2015] AND one fortunate punter (selected at random) will also receive a further 4 Honest Publishing titles of their choice*. Aren’t you lucky things…
Don’t miss your chance to own one of only 25 special editions of The Suicide. Praise:
Dan Fante: “A major work by one of America’s best authors.”
Sam Millar – New York Journal of Books: “A first-rate intelligent thriller.”
David Noone – Out of the Gutter: “For most writers, working within the specific limitations of a formula would be a constraint, for SaFranko it’s a release.”
Mark SaFranko’s novels include Hating Olivia (Harper Perennial), No Strings (Black Coffee Press) and Lounge Lizard (Murder Slim Press).
The Suicide Special Edition is being sold at the RRP price of £13.99 with FREE postage to the UK. Residents of EU and US can also purchase, but you’ve got to pay for postage – that’s just the way the tough cookie crumbles. You know the score – first come, first served.

Readability & The Man Booker Prize
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2014So the judges of the Man Booker prize 2014 have been announced, accompanied by a good old re-hash of the ‘readability’ argument unwittingly initiated by Dame Rimington in 2011. Is it ‘dumbing down’ to reward authors who write enjoyable books? Essentially, books are written to be read; just like any art form authors need to entertain and move their audience. But we already have a competition for the most readable books – bestseller lists. Let’s have a look what they show us. (more…)
