Building an Award Winning Press with Valerie Brandes Founder of Jacaranda Books

I had the pleasure of interviewing Valerie Brandes, Founder & CEO of Jacaranda Books, a Black-owned independent publishing company based in London.

In our conversation, Valerie shares her journey of starting and growing her press, how she’s overcome challenges like distribution, publishing 20 books during a pandemic, and the ways indie publishers can connect with their audiences to grow sales.
