Are you a writer, publisher or PR with a book on the music we feature at AUK coming out this year?
We feature biographies of musicians, or other key figures in the music world – producers, managers, studio owners. We have covered books about places associated with the music, and almost anything else that our readers might be interested in. Self-published or limited-run books are something we would like to cover.
We do review fiction too but they need to have a very clear connection to music of the sort we cover here.

So, if you have a book, or books that we might like to feature please get in touch with me via the details on the contacts page.
