FIU Libraries now has over 130 books published by Peepal Tree Press, an independent publishing house focusing mainly on works by Caribbean and Caribbean diaspora writers. Peepal Tree was founded in 1985, and now publishes around 12-15 books a year out of Leeds, Yorkshire. Of the over 150 titles put out since its founding, most are kept in print. Fiction and poetry form the most substantial part of the catalog, but the selection of academic and non-fiction titles is growing. Peepal Tree has given many new writers the chance for publication, published established authors whose work has been deemed not commercial enough, and republished works which have gone out of print.
