Green Cat Books and book store was set up in 2017 by Lisa Greener, after she finished writing her second book. She found that there was little choice for publishing the book, only having the option of traditional publishing, but finding that an author can't even get a foot in the door unless well-known, or 'vanity publishing' with the self-publishing route or with a paid-for publishing house, paying thousands.
