Formation
Formation
In 2014, after disagreements with their parent company John Hunt Publishing (now Collective Ink), 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. 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, Brad Evans, David Stubbs, Graham Harman, Mat Osman, Steven Shaviro, Roy Christopher, Leila Taylor, Claire Cronin, Eugene Thacker, and Todd McGowan, amongst others. Collective Ink was brought by Watkins Media in October 2021, bringing Zero Books and Repeater Books under the same ownership. This allowed some Zero Book assets to be transferred to their originators at Repeater Books. On October 23, 2021, Repeater Books announced that they had bought the Zero Books imprint from John Hunt Publishing. However, as of May 2024, it is still listed as on Collective Ink's website as its imprint.
