Torchflame Books Large Print is proud to be leading the way into large print spaces for independent publishing. Thank you, IBPA, for this lovely feature!
A longtime IBPA member, Torchflame Books was founded in 1998 as Light Messages Publishing by a family of authors Wally, Betty, and Elizabeth Turnbull, who then expanded the company in 2013 to include Torchflame Books as its hybrid publishing imprint. In 2024, they transferred leadership of the company to Teri Rider, and Torchflame Books became an imprint of Top Reads Publishing, also a family-run hybrid press.
Recently, they launched a new imprint that’s dedicated to publishing large print books after discovering a gap in the market for independently published books for large print readers. We connected with Teri who is their CEO and Acquisitions Manager, and Marketing Manager Jori Hanna to tell us about the new imprint, Torchflame Books Large Print, and about the challenges and opportunities in publishing large print books.
