Several Welsh publishers have joined forces to form the umbrella organization Cyhoeddi Cymru/Publishing Wales. The Bookseller reported that CCPW "was launched in recognition of the absence of a single voice for Wales' publishing sector."
The group includes the University of Wales Press, Welsh Academic Press and Firefly Press in Cardiff; Graffeg in Llanelli; Crown House in Carmarthen; Y Lolfa in Talybont; Honno in Aberystwyth; Parthian Books in Cardigan; and Atebol, which has offices in Aberystwyth, Carmarthen and Cardiff.
CCPW "intends to develop publishing from Wales and promote it to the world, establishing a clear identity for the sector," the Bookseller wrote, adding that it "will also be a platform to showcase the country's writers and illustrators, as well as its publishing across all genres."
David Bowman, publisher at Crown House, said that CCPW's "aim is to be the recognized, authoritative voice for the publishing sector in Wales, representing all Welsh publishers, both for our collective benefit and for the advancement of the sector. The organization will support members to expand our reach across the globe, and will foster an ambitious and professional environment in which the sector can thrive."
