Repeater Books is a publishing imprint based in London, founded in 2014 by Tariq Goddard and Mark Fisher, formerly the founders of radical publishers Zero Books, along with Etan Ilfeld, Tamar Shlaim, Alex Niven and Matteo Mandarini. [1] [2] [3]
In 2014, after disagreements with their parent company John Hunt Publishing, [4] Zero Books founders Tariq Goddard and Mark Fisher, as well as Matteo Mandarini, editor Alex Niven and publicist Tamar Shlaim, resigned, and formed the new imprint Repeater Books. [5]
In 2015, Repeater Books published its first two titles: The Isle of Minimus, an experimental novel by M. K. L. Murphy; and Lean Out, a feminist polemic by the journalist Dawn Foster. They have since published books by Mark Fisher, David Stubbs, Graham Harman, Mat Osman, Steven Shaviro, Leila Taylor, Claire Cronin, Eugene Thacker, and Todd McGowan, amongst others.
Repeater Books is an imprint within Watkins Media, [6] a publishing organisation owned by entrepreneur Etan Ilfeld, [7] whose imprints also include Angry Robot and Nourish, as well as London's famous esoteric bookshop Watkins Books. [8]
