Francesca T. Barbini is an award-winning editor, translator, and founder of Luna Press Publishing, the acclaimed independent press specialising in speculative fiction and academia. Born in Rome and now based in Edinburgh, her work has earned multiple British Fantasy and British Science Fiction Awards. She also supports the Tolkien Society and designs the BSFA Awards booklet.
We had great fun chatting with Francesca and learning why she decided to start a small press, and discuss the advantages that a small press can have over the larger publishing houses. We also talk about what makes a book a success from her point of view, and why she loves to nurture authors and see them grow into huge successes.
