OUR STORY
WE ARE:
Wordville started as a PR agency in 2007, helping brands and individuals get noticed. We won a few awards for our work and built a track record with clients in the culture sector. In 2021, our Mayor, Lucy Tertia George, a published novelist herself, decided to start an independent imprint. The motivation was to see her late father's book about the Crucible Theatre in print in time for the Sheffield theatre's 50th anniversary. With that book underway, there were other tales to tell. We want to share stories about the individuals and organisations that helped shape the performing arts. Not unlike our original agency, Wordville Press also works with a diverse group. What connects them all is the performing arts.
In 2023, Wordville acquired respected theatre publisher Salamander Street.
