Main Point Books

Main Point Books was established in 2023 by Jennie Renton and Madeleine Mankey as a publisher of alternative poetry. As publishing freelancers, Maddie and Jennie sought to pool their skills and expertise to bring projects that excite them to life.

Based in Edinburgh, their first publication Spaces Open: poems for West Port Garden was designed to raise money for the titular garden at the end of the Grassmarket, exploring its social history and supporting its future.

From that launch point, Main Point Books now have a small, carefully curated list of titles. They seek quality over quantity, showcasing strong voices with unorthodox themes.
