They're a new company, and their CEO is "new to the industry" plus has some odd ideas:
Louise Boland
Louise is founder and CEO of Fairlight Books. New to the publishing industry, she was previously the MD and co-founder of the Opus Energy group, a retail energy supplier to business consumers. Following an exit of that business through a trade sale in early 2017, she decided to take the opportunity to go back to basics with a fresh start up.
Seeing friends struggling to find good reads from under a deluge of ‘buy-me’ photo-fit e-novels, and seeing writer friends struggling to find homes for quality fiction, she decided to set up Fairlight Books to help reconnect readers with quality fiction.
They've got a handful of people who studied publishing at university and what seems like a good publicity thing going, but there's a massive dearth of actual industry experience on the team.
They could be okay but there's very little information about their contracts, process, anything else.
