A satirical swipe at Local Government, with an oblique nod to Kafka. The issue of penile dysfunction is a sympathetic one, but the author employs a deliberately sexist tone, making a mockery of the woman’s perspective. My overall impression is of a male opinion piece masquerading as fiction. As always, fiction is a matter of taste. Alice Frances – Book reviewer

This fast-paced highly symbolic tale takes us into the hearts and minds of Kurdish freedom fighters. We meet characters who are driven by the passion for a lover, for political domination, for survival, and for the love of family. A series of unusual first person narrators brings the reader deep into life in harsh terrain facing harsher political realities, where betrayal can and often does mean death. We experience the struggle of an entire people fight- ing against a repression so severe that many cannot even read in their native language, causing a symbolic deafness amongst these victims of circumstance.

How we assess the manuscript:


Our Book Valuation Group consists of a number of highly educated, open-minded book lovers, who are based in different countries and exposed to different cultures.

We hide the author details and send them the manuscript with request to answer the following three questions:

Would you recommend the book to a friend?

Would you read it again in 5 or 10 years?

Have you read similar topic/style before?

Our final decision is based on their answers to these questions.

We publish all genres, except: academic and illustrated children’s books.

We do not pay any author in advance of sales. Equally our authors do not contribute into any of the production costs. We offer up to 30% royalties to all our authors.

We work closely with each individual author. We discuss every stage of the publishing journey; from edit, design to promotion. This is a unique partnership where we share our expertise and collaboration is vital.

Therefore, besides the traditional distributing channels, we are exploring and using new, creative ways to sell our books.

Abū Nuwās was a great Arabic poet whose poetry encapsulated the society of his time. It has now been twelve centuries since Abū Nuwās composed words as he trod the streets of Baghdad. For most of that period, major parts of his work were censored by state and mosque. It’s only recently that the suppressed material has been allowed to see the light of day, and this new translation of the known khamriyyāt faithfully reflects the original.

The history of courtesans and slave girls in the medieval Arab world transcends traditional boundaries of study and opens up new fields of sociological and cultural enquiry. In the process it offers a remarkably rich source of historical and cultural information on medieval Islam. 'The Slave Girls of Baghdad' explores the origins, education and art of the 'qiyan' - indentured girls and women who entertained and entranced the caliphs and aristocrats.
