Paul McVeigh and Kirsty Logan are authors you may have heard of. Both of their debuts were published by Salt, an independent publisher. Paul McVeigh's The Good Son was shortlisted for a bunch of awards, and won the Polari first book prize this year. Kirsty Logan's The Rental Heart and Other Fairytales won three awards - including the Polari in 2015- and Logan had her next book published with Harvill Secker, a division of Penguin Random House. The same trajectory is likely for Paul McVeigh. It's a familiar story.
