NEW PUBLICATION
Purple Unicorn Media's catalogue for 2023 is now published, including all books in print, and all those scheduled to be published during 2023. It can be purchased from Amazon in paperback, or downloaded as a PDF. Bookshops may email us to request that we send out a free (to them) paperback copy.

The paperback on Amazon costs £5 and includes a breakdown by imprint, a section on Infinity Wanderers magazine, and forthcoming books shown both by imprint and by month.

The PDF is about 6 megabytes and can be downloaded free by clicking the link below. It is not offered for sale as a digital product, so this does not undermine any sales channel.
