Myriad Editions is an independent UK publishing house based in Brighton and Hove, Sussex, specialising in topical atlases, graphic non-fiction and original fiction, whose output also encompasses graphic novels that span a variety of genres, including memoir and life writing, as well political non-fiction. The company was set up in 1993 by Anne Benewick, together with Judith Mackay, as a packager of infographic atlases.[1]
In 2005, Myriad began publishing under its own imprint, with Candida Lacey as Publishing Director.[1][2][3] With its stated aim being "to showcase new writers and artists, build fresh audiences for their work, and establish a literary niche against the mainstream",[4] Myriad has built a reputation for discovering and nurturing award-winning authors, such as Jonathan Kemp,[5] Elizabeth Haynes,[6][7] Lesley Thomson,[8] Darryl Cunningham,[9] and Natasha Soobramanien.[10][11]
Myriad's creative director, Corinne Pearlman, has stated: "Myriad's mission statement is quite simply to look for new voices, new ways of seeing. The First Drafts Competition for new writers who haven't yet been published has been a highly influential in bringing authors to our attention whom we go on to publish – or who find agents and other publishers as a result of their shortlisting. And the First Graphic Novel Competition was set up to reflect this – to encourage potential graphic novelists to get in on the act, whether established artists looking to adopt a new medium, or young artists on the first rung of the ladder, or experienced comics artists who had never before attempted a long-form work of graphic narrative."[12]
In May 2017, Myriad Editions merged with Oxford-based independent, non-profit media co-operative New Internationalist.[13]
