Mick Felton
The Books Council of Wales is saddened to hear of the passing of Mick Felton.
As Seren’s publisher, Mick played a pivotal role in Welsh publishing for four decades. The industry and the writers of Wales owe him an enormous debt of gratitude.
The Books Council appreciates the colossal amount of quiet, behind-the-scenes work of publishers in general, and by Mick in particular, to ensure that Welsh publishing and Welsh writers continue to thrive. This is very often a labour of love and Mick gave his all to his calling.
The retirement he deserved was cut cruelly short and our thoughts are with his colleagues at Seren and those closest to him.
