Name: Marginal Publishing House
Provider: Comics Youth CIC
Comics Youth CIC, an organisation helping young people to publish comics, launched the Marginal Publishing House in Merseyside to give young people who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity a chance to share their stories.
The youth-led organisation publishes solely marginalised authors under the age of 25. Originally funded by the National Lottery and set up as a coaching and mentoring programme, the scheme has gone on to publish 22 books based on lived experience by young people within the past three years.
“It’s about giving people advice and having their voices heard on a local or regional scale, particularly because it is so hard to break into the industry,” says Rhiannon Mair Griffiths, co-founder of Comics Youth.
