Trade Fiction

Palimpsest has a wealth of experience in the typesetting of trade fiction books.

Proud to list most of the UK's leading trade publishing houses amongst our customers, the company's systems and procedures are geared to high-volume, fast turnaround book work. Sensitive to design requirements and skilled at implementing a design brief, we are also aware of the importance of economic print extents.

Palimpsest frequently handles titles from bestselling authors across the full range of genres: Stephen King, Barbara Taylor Bradford, Ian McEwan, Louis de Bernières, Iain Banks and David Eddings, to name just a few.

Our ability to provide a high-quality, secure and on-schedule service was encapsulated in our handling of J.K. Rowlings' Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Palimpsest typeset the winner of the Man Booker Prize 2006: Kiran Desai's The Inheritance of Loss as well as two of the titles on the shortlist: Kate Grenville's The Secret River; and M.J. Hyland's Carry Me Down.
