SPA Cottage Publishing is a world of Books: Fiction, Non-Fiction, Memoir Writing, Local Memoir/History, Classics, Irish Language Series, Gothic, Short Stories, and other genres.
SPA Cottage Publishing identifies with the revolution of online publishing platforms while accepting the traditional formats that came with the printing press and onwards. SPA Cottage Publishing books are available in digital, Ebook, Kindle, paperback, hardcopy and crucially Gaelic language and culture.
Our mission is traditional, ground-breaking, bringing together our experienced and professional team, collective and individual. While we bifurcate the new frontiers and the existing publishing formats, we see ourselves as leading and innovative within these.
Global understanding of the presentation of text in all techno-formats is always underscored by the realisation that language in any format is about communication and remains a collection of words, linguistic signs and symbols. The big challenge is of course that global communication has reached its apogee and with the potential for text to reach every member of the planet’s population.
SPA Cottage Publishing takes its name from the 18th Century sulphur well on the McManus Farmstead facing Sliabh an Iarain (Iron Mountain); situated on the Spa River in County Leitrim. The farm is currently cared for by Farming for Nature Ambassador Michael McManus, innovator in farm diversification and organic farmer. Founder and Director of Spa Cottage organic skincare, landscape painter and former Leitrim area correspondent, columnist, journalist, and political analyst.
