The holidays are nearly here and we at Text Publishing can’t wait. We’re frantically rushing around the office, throwing tinsel on each other, drinking egg nog, opening all the presents we’ve bought for each other...wait, what? No, that’s the office downstairs. Your faithful Texters are in fact beavering away, ensuring our titles for next year are perfectly perfect. And we’re secretly doing all our Christmas shopping online. Shhhh. Don’t mention that last bit. But if you want to know what we’re buying for friends and ourselves then, Brave Reader, read on!
Your faithful Texters have been busier than bees, what with all the reading and editing and toiling and designing. We are now pleased to present you with our catalogue of titles for the next six months.
Kill the Next One from Argentina’s Federico Axat is fast becoming an international sensation. He’s being compared to Stephen King, Hitchcock, and Christopher Nolan. With more twists than a double helix, this gripping, fast-paced read won’t let you put it down until the very last page.
Ted has it all: a beautiful wife, two daughters, a high-paying job. But after he is diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour he finds himself with a gun to his temple, ready to pull the trigger. That’s when the doorbell rings.
Ted finds himself entwined in a suicidal daisy chain that will hook you from the start. Get ready for a rollercoaster of suspense that will leave you gasping for more.

Wonder what the world will look like in a few years? Alexander Weinstein already knows, and Humans, Westworld and Black Mirror have got nothing on him. This dark and haunting debut collection of stories, Children of the New World is being hailed as a brilliant and visionary work. Weinstein has been compared to Atwood, Kafka and Eggers.
Text is looking for an outstanding individual to fulfil the role of Sales Coordinator. This is a 15-month contract position which can be configured as full- or part-time, and may be extended to suit the successful applicant.
Text Publishing is looking for a marketing assistant to join its small, energetic team. Duties include assisting with the creation and implementation of print and ebook marketing campaigns; booking ad spots and writing copy; liaising with booksellers and authors; writing for the website, blog and social media; and representing Text at industry conferences.
Alexander Weinstein has written a dark debut collection of short stories depicting a technological future gone awry. Children of the New World is one part Black Mirror, two parts J. G. Ballard and altogether twisted. We asked Alexander about his inspirations, his thoughts on speculative fiction and about the peculiar kinds of technologies he’s learned about while creating his collection of dystopian stories.
