Performing Arts Publications & Books
Established in 2021, Wordville Press is a dedicated publisher specialising in the performing arts. Our journey began as a PR agency in 2007, where we built a strong reputation supporting cultural sector clients. In 2021, we expanded our expertise to create an independent imprint focused on sharing untold stories from theatre, opera, music, and dance. Our acquisition of Salamander Street in 2023 further strengthened our commitment to theatrical literature. We prioritise diverse voices, including LGBTQ+ narratives, feminist perspectives, and works from the disabled community, while maintaining a strong focus on the creative process and performer-audience relationships.Our team combines decades of industry experience with a passion for uncovering hidden stories. We actively support MetamorPhonics, an inclusive music-making initiative, demonstrating our dedication to accessible arts engagement. Through meticulous editorial work and strategic partnerships, we ensure each publication meets the highest standards of quality and authenticity. Our global perspective is reflected in both our content and distribution, reaching audiences worldwide. With a foundation built on transparency and integrity, we continue to evolve as a trusted voice in performing arts publishing.
