Meet the Community: Bridge Media
1 What's your organisation called?
Bridge Media Ltd.
2 What do you publish?
Illustrated books on vital topics, currently focusing on two areas: mental health and climate change. We also publish books of brain games for international markets.
3 What's the story of the organisation?
Bridge Media is new but its founders have a long history of illustrated book publishing and of digital publishing innovation, so the future will be built on the best of these.
4 What do you enjoy about being independent?
The easy answer is ‘everything’—but more usefully, I’d say it’s the adventure of it and the freedom, or at least flexibility, to explore.
5 What do you think is the biggest single issue in publishing right now?
I think publishers are not looking hard enough at the opportunities that a healthy fusion of print and digital media already provide.
6 What one piece of advice would you give to a fellow independent just starting out?
Follow your instincts and your dreams, and use your wit and wisdom to achieve them.
7 Why is being a part of the independent publishing community important to you?
Shared interests, shared experience and shared vision.
