“Only those who know the past can understand the present and shape the future.”
The history of Cloudshill Press
We started this author-led family publishing partnership in 2016, the first book being Ingrid Dixon’s The Bride’s Trunk, in which she explores her Anglo-German heritage. The benefits of keeping control of the publishing process soon became clear and we have continued in the same vein. and at our own pace. The main focus is on bringing history to life through stories from the past, mostly connected with the Second World War.
