The Killer Inside (24 page)
Honno Welsh Women’s Press was set up in 1986 by a group of women who felt strongly that women in Wales needed wider opportunities to see their writing in print and to become involved in the publishing process. Our aim is to develop the writing talents of women in Wales, give them new and exciting opportunities to see their work published and often to give them their first ‘break’ as a writer.
Honno is registered as a community co-operative. Any profit that Honno makes is invested in the publishing programme. Women from Wales and around the world have expressed their support for Honno by buying shares in the co-operative. Shareholders’ liability is limited to the amount invested and each shareholder has a vote at the Annual General Meeting.
To buy shares or to receive further information about forthcoming publications, please write to Honno at the address below, or visit our website:
