Acquisitions Board Member
Peter Snell is a bookseller of some seventeen years standing and has been an avid reader from the age of three or four. He has a BEd Hons degree in history and is a qualified teacher with an earlier background with IBM where he became familiar with PL1, Fortran 4 and 80 column cards. He acts as a gatekeeper for Barton's Bookshop where he insists on reading an author's work before allowing them to have a signing. He will not hand sell books to his valued customers unless he has confidence in them himself. It has been his mission in recent years to champion new writers, traditionally published or otherwise, and discover new talents and those not yet fully recognised. To this end he has surrendered most of his autonomy when choosing the books he reads and subsists on a diet of author submissions and publishers' proofs and pre pubs. This role with Vine Leaves Press is a logical extension of the route he has mapped out for himself.
