Red Telephone Books, a new imprint of Bridge House Publishing LLP, is based in Manchester, UK.

Our name derives from a song contained on Love’s Forever Changes album. It describes the system which facilitated direct communication between the leaders of Russia and the United States during the Cold War.  We intend that this classic cipher of vital communication will reflect the quality and energy of our published output.

Red Telephone titles are edited by Gill James, who has also written the imprint's first novel, The Prophecy.  Gill writes fiction and educational materials for children and young adults.  She has over thirty books in print.   Gill also lectures in Creative Writing at the University of Salford.

Publicity for Red Telephone Books will be handled by Oliver Wright.  A freelance journalist, Oliver graduated from the University of Manchester in 2003, with first class honours in English & American Studies.

The RT corporate logo was designed by Trevor Pattinson, an artist and musician based in Manchester.
