SPCK GROUP GENERAL RIGHTS GUIDE 2025
Dear Publishing Partner,
Welcome to our General Rights catalogue for all our imprints Inter-Varsity Press, SPCK, Form, Lion Hudson and Apollos. We are delighted to showcase our new titles from well-known authors and those starting out.
Many of these titles have international potential and it is our great pleasure to see many translated as they are reviewed, whether it is the story of revival in Iran or an Inter-varsity Press title on a Biblical response to societal changes. Our Lion Hudson highly-illustrated titles packed with photography, the Handbook to the Bible and the Atlas of Bible History are refreshed for a 21st century audience, with new scholarly articles and a super design. Also in the four colour range, we have Tom Wright's Wisdom of Jesus ready soon for co-edition partners to join the first printing. We cannot think of a better gift book!
Kind regards,
Vanessa Norman, Head of Rights
