Aurora Metro is an independent publisher of books - starting out with publishing drama, we have moved on to fiction, non-fiction, humour, children's and biography.
We also operate a charity providing Arts and Education projects and workshops mainly to schools, libraries and community groups. In association with the Arts Council of England, we have published an outstanding international series of Fiction for Teenagers bringing the best authors from around the world to a new English readership.
Working with our local theatre The Orange Tree in Richmond, Surrey, we have launched a project to celebrate the Centenary of the Suffragettes with a new collection of plays by writers involved with the Actresses Franchise League. We are also planning to create an educational website so that others can research their own local suffragette history and contribute to the site.
This year, we have published the first novel for teens that deals with obesity in a humorous way. Teens will enjoy reading 'Junk Food Hero' by Pat Swindells and can have a workshop on healthy eating in their school. Finally, watch out for 'Silly Beggar' - the world's stupidest begging letters' by James Spence - definitely one for the bookshelf!
