terra incognitaterra incognita projects aim at challenging audiences, the status quo, the definition of art - all things 'art' that are worth doing and that aren't being done or supported by anyone else.

 Project : <1% series

*a new direction in publishing*

terra incognita have begun to publish a small series of quality, innovative novels which push the bounds of literature and art. 

This series is meant to be understood like a visual art exhibition, where each novel is an artwork in its own right but where each can be understood in juxtapostion with the others. The series explores ideas of self-deception and bad faith  - Sartre's existential humanism updated and reconceived for the 21st century. Choice is a central theme.

Introducing: less than one percent.

Each title probably has a limited market appeal. We believe that despite this the world is a more interesting place with these titles in it. We are proud to serve that small market for literature which values innovation, excellence and challenging subject matter  - maybe less than one percent of the book-buying public

Each title within the series has a print run of 250, and despite this, is affordable - £8.99 (around the average price for paperbacks). All editions are on quality paper.

The <1% series is a celebration of the true diversity of artistic and literary concern; a celebration of the great variety of excellence.

New authors are invited to contact terra incognita for further information on publishing within this series.

Ordinarily unpublishable :
the novel is not exactly a prequel or a sequel, but an 'equal' to 'Non-Return', (Serren, £7.99) - exploring what if the other choice had been made.
