Books will be sold in digital and paper format, “in the major bookstores in the United Kingdom”. In addition, the editorial has emphasized that all of this they want to do in an ethical way, “paying our collaborators properly and supporting in the community in which we live projects that help women live with freedom and dignity, making them the first fair trade publishing house in the United Kingdom”.

Distress call

Mase explains that the publication of each book has a minimum cost of EUR 10,000 and that they need help to launch the project on the Verkami platform. It has shown the ways to obtain the first edition of books or to collaborate economically in another way. They shall allocate the contributions to the financing of books.
