A variety of popular fiction genres
The bread and butter of the “Friend” is romance – one of the most popular genres new subscribers can look forward to.
Often posing the classic “Will they, won’t they…?” question, romantic stories end in a happy resolution though not necessarily in a way readers may expect, keeping them entertained from page to page.
Falling in love is only part of the journey many characters undertake within “Friend” stories – many romantic stories set in yesteryear are a particular reader favourite.
Offering total escapism, historical stories transport readers to unfamiliar places, involving past events, all whilst encountering interesting characters.
Staying clear of shocks and upsets, stories can occasionally explore ghostly goings-on and cosy crime, adding plenty of intrigue to your fiction offering. Readers also enjoy classic family stories and fiction told from a young person’s point of view.
Occasionally, we will publish two-part stories but generally, each Pocket Novel is a complete story for you to enjoy and revisit again and again.
Handy pocket-sized format
The perfect travel companion or for readers always on the move, The “People’s Friend” Pocket Novel is printed in a smaller, lightweight format that won’t take up too much space in bags or your luggage.
