Transworld celebrates launch of new non-fiction imprint, Torva
Transworld celebrated the launch of its new non-fiction imprint, Torva, on Thursday 30th March at Old Queen Street Café in Westminster, London.
Authors including Jonathan Kennedy, Kenny Imafidon, Graham Smith and Emma Gannon were in attendance, whose books Pathogenesis, That Peckham Boy, Abolish the Monarchy and The Success Myth are among Torva’s launch titles.
Larry Finlay, Transworld m.d., said the launch was a “really exciting moment” for the publisher, marking the first new imprint at Transworld “for many years”.
Finlay added: “We have a list of books we are hugely proud of [and] we’ve got off to the best possible start. We have had fabulous reviews for many of our launch titles that are just about to come out so it’s a really exciting moment."
Susanna Wadeson, publisher, added: “It’s been a long time coming. What we wanted to do was to bring into clear focus a distinct list of books that we were already acquiring. So this isn’t really a new direction, it’s a real statement of intent and commitment.”
She described Torva’s list as “books that chuck a missile at the status quo, that rock the proverbial boat, and are designed to make us all rethink”.
