A Model Operation: Prototype Publishing at the Barbican Library | Jess Chandler in conversation with Jen Calleja & Lavinia Singer, Wednesday 29 November, 7pm

Join Jen Calleja, Jess Chandler and Lavinia Singer, as they talk about their books and the innovatively hybrid work of Prototype, the East London publishing house that is challenging boundaries.

Dedicating our Autumn series to the remarkable activities of London’s truly independent publishers, we conclude with the vividly distinctive work of Prototype. Founded in 2019, it is a publisher of fiction, poetry, anthologies and interdisciplinary projects. With an emphasis on producing unique and beautiful books, Prototype is committed to creating new possibilities in publishing, championing the work of new and established voices in contemporary literature..

Founder, publisher and editor Jess Chandler is joined by Jen Calleja and Lavinia Singer, the authors of new and recent books from Prototype, to discuss the press’s vision and to read from their own titles with the press. Books will be on sale and signings will be entirely possible.
