The Halstar imprint was born from the Arts list of our sister publisher Halsgrove.
While Halsgrove has established its name as one of the UK ’s leading publishers of high quality regional titles and builds upon this reputation with a list of over 150 new hardback titles each year, the Halstar imprint was founded specifically to produce books, generally within the field of the arts, that have been identified as having significant potential beyond Halsgrove's core markets and which benefit from the branding a sharply focused imprint can bring.
Our unique experience in specialist areas of trade publishing, combined with extensive resources as one of the very few significant UK publishers maintaining exclusive control over sales, marketing, warehousing and distribution, gives Halstar authors a significant lead in the promotion and sale of their work.
Based at our Somerset distribution centre and led by Simon Butler FRSA, Halstar builds on the high standards of design and production for which Halsgrove is well respected, while using an established position within the book trade together with extensive off and online marketing reach to ensure success for each title.
Halstar's marketing reach often combines with individual artists, arts bodies, galleries, public authorities and private companies to promote their mission in book form. Our experience in identifying commercially successful titles, produced to the highest standards, covering
arts-interest subjects that readers love to buy is at the core of continued
expansion.
