About

Here at Bellows Press, we have a lot of experience in the indie publishing world, and we want to make that work for you. There are so many good stories out there, and we’re using our expertise to bring them to a wider audience.

Because we also think it’s important to be transparent about money: we don’t pay advances, but we do pay a higher royalties rate than most publishers. Generally, it’s about 10% of paperbacks and 30% of ebooks (although discounted and foreign sales can alter that).

Meet the Team

Lisa Findley

Lisa (she/her) is a dual American/British citizen, raised in the States, and living in London since 2014. She worked as an editor for Sourcebooks, based in the greater Chicago area, and she met Alice while working on the marketing and editing for Free Association Books. She loves most genres of fiction, including literary, speculative (sci-fi/fantasy), and historical. One of the unexpected benefits of spending more time at home during the pandemic has been discovering the world of modern romance fiction (late to the party, but here now!).

Alice Solomons

Alice (she/her) was born in London and has been settled there since she graduated from university. She originally qualified as a chartered accountant but decided it wasn’t exciting enough and so she changed direction and got into publishing.  She’s worked at Free Association Books since 2010, a non-fiction independent publisher.  She reads many things, but mostly literary fiction and sometimes scientific non-fiction. She gets excited about translations and obscure out-of-print works.
