We Want To Tell The Story Again: Publishing The Canongate Myths

The Canongate Myths series is one of the most creative and unusual projects in contemporary publishing. This report presents an over-arching analysis of the series, and provides insight on its many aspects, from the commissioning of the individual books to the design process, and from an understanding of the project's market within the United Kingdom to the unique structure of the Myths' foreign rights agreements. The evolution of the project is discussed, as well as its future at Canongate Books and at participating foreign publishers.
