Unheard Voices Launch

At the 2024 Herts Book Festival, The Endless Bookcase launched a brand new imprint: “Unheard Voices”.

An Arts Council funded initiative, “Unheard Voices” provides a means by which homeless authors or authors with lived experience of homelessness are supported to have their work, be it fiction poetry or creative non-fiction, published and marketed.

The homeless voice is an under-represented one in mainstream literature, but this new imprint gives homeless people an opportunity to put that right.

At the launch, Dr Neil Deuchar, former psychiatrist, Endless Bookcase author and current series editor for the new imprint, gave a short introduction. Then Jason Electricity, who lives in Waterloo in London, and who is the new imprint’s series advisor, read poems from his first collection, “Where Urban Lights Reflect Hope”, which is the very first publication of “Unheard Voices”. Jason offered book signings of his book which were on sale at the stand.

The launch took place at the Endless Bookcase stand at the Hertford Castle site on Saturday 18th May.
