PUBLISHING HAND-CRAFTED,ALTERNATIVE STORYBOOKSFOR UNCONVENTIONAL MINDS.

"Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking."

Leo Tolstoy

Thirteen Broomsticks is the home of alternative publishing. Unlike mainstream publishing houses, we welcome the unconventional and don’t ask them to conform. All of our products are hand-crafted by eccentric minds and creative hands. We deal directly with our wonderful independent printers who are based in Inverness, Scotland as well as a growing number of independent bookshops across the country. Wherever possible we use recycled or eco-friendly stock. Most importantly, we provide free downloadable resources to educational organisations.

OUR MANIFESTO

  • To challenge the sanitised & sterilised mainstream market [for children’s books] which are disproportionately unimaginative and dull.
  • To offer alternative families with unconventional children characters that they can relate to.
  • To inspire a new generation of bohemians, rebels, artists & free spirits who will make the world a better place.
  • To open conventional minds and inspire compassion & change.
  • To bring odd-ball characters to life by publishing books that stand out as being hand-crafted by uniques souls and kooky weirdos.
  • To challenge children when current education standards will not.
  • To unapologetically embrace the arts and make them accessible and cherished as the greatest teachers.
