Eye Books partners with BookSource for distribution

Eye Books has announced that it will move to the Glasgow-based distributor BookSource on 1st March, replacing Ingram Publisher Services UK.

Founder Dan Hiscocks established Eye Books to publish books with an emphasis on travel. More recently, the publisher has diversified into fiction, under the imprint Lightning, as well as non-fiction. Recent titles include Local by Alastair Humphreys, shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize 2024, and the memoir Tough Crowd by Graham Linehan.

Hiscocks said: "BookSource has built a reputation for its reliable infrastructure and committed team, making it the ideal distributor for Eye Books as we continue to increase our list and expand our titles across a wider range of genres. We appreciate BookSource’s ability to support the dynamic needs of independent publishers."

Louise Morris, customer service director at BookSource, commented: "I’m delighted to welcome Eye Books to BookSource. We have been closely monitoring their achievements and have admired their list for some time. We are proud to partner with them to help reach a wider audience and support their long-term strategy. We look forward to providing Eye Books with the same exceptional service that has made BookSource the natural choice for many independent publishers."

Eye Books will launch several new titles in the next few months, including Words Fail Me, the debut novel by Frances McKendrick, and Ocean by author and poet Polly Clark.
