Independent Publishing Sector Is 'Thriving' Says IPG Report

The UK’s independent publishing sector is growing and “thriving”, a second annual independent publishing report has found.

However, Brexit has materialised as the most significant issue facing members now, with staffing resources and cash flow issues high among the concerns.

Intended as a “comprehensive” overview of and analysis into the state of independent publishing in the UK, the report, this year sponsored by law firm Harbottle & Lewis, has revealed that nearly half of the Independent Publishers Guild’s (IPG) members (48%) surveyed believe that their business is growing – marginally down from 51% last year.
