Walela is the Cherokee word for hummingbird.

A quote from one of the authors from our other imprints:

"Hummingbirds are small but eye catching.

They’re colourful.

They’re a diverse group.

Everyone loves a hummingbird!"

We're a small press but distinctive and we aim to offer something diverse and colourful that everyone will love.

We have identified a gap in the market for high concept, upmarket literary fiction that really deserves to be published but doesn’t quite fit with current trends of the bigger presses.
