ACA PublishingUK and ChinaOriginally a division of UK publishing conglomerate Alain Charles Publishing, ACA was spun off as a separate entity in 2008, and it has since published a range of fiction, academic, biographical, business, historical and reference books.

Alain Charles Asia was established by a small team in April 2007, and from our humble background in magazine and yearbook publishing we’ve gone on to become an established fiction and non-fiction publisher, producing more than 30 titles a year. We operate two lists, Sinoist Books, which publishes the best China-related literature and fiction in translation, and ACA, which has a more academic and social science focus.

Bloodaxe BooksHexham, Northumberland, UKBloodaxe Books has revolutionised poetry publishing in Britain over four decades. Internationally renowned for quality in literature and excellence in book design, our authors and books have won virtually every major literary award given to poetry, from the T.S. Eliot Prize and Pulitzer to the Nobel Prize. And books like the Staying Alive anthology series have broken new ground by opening up contemporary poetry to many thousands of new readers.

Grant support from Arts Council England makes it possible for Bloodaxe to publish up to thirty new titles a year by a bold and diverse range of new and established writers from Britain, Ireland, America and many other countries, including poetry in translation and proportionally more collections by women poets than any other British imprint.

Bloodaxe Books was founded in Newcastle by Neil Astley in 1978. It became a non-profit limited company in 1982. Based in offices on Newcastle’s Quayside for many years and later behind the station, the operation was split three ways in 1997, with distribution taken over by Littlehampton Book Services, sales and finance managed from Bala in North Wales, and editorial, publicity and rights moving to a new base in Northumberland (from 2000 to 2014 at Highgreen Manor in the Tarset valley).

Bloodaxe’s main office is now at South Park, Hexham, Northumberland, while finance and sales data are managed from Bala. Distribution is handled by Grantham Book Services (GBS), while book trade marketing is done by PGUK.

Cassava RepublicLondon, UK and Abuja, NigeriaCassava Republic Press was founded in Abuja, Nigeria, 2006 by Bibi Bakare-Yusuf and Jeremy Weate with the aim of bringing high quality fiction and non-fiction for adults and children alike to a global audience. We have offices in Abuja and London.
Our mission is to change the way we all think about African writing. We think that contemporary African prose should be rooted in African experience in all its diversity, whether set in filthy-yet-sexy megacities such as Lagos or Kinshasa, in little-known communities outside of Bahia, in the recent past or indeed the near future.
We also think the time has come to build a new body of African writing that links writers and readers from Benin to Bahia. It’s therefore the right time to ask challenging questions of African writing – where have we come from, where are we now, where are we going? Our role is to facilitate and participate in addressing these questions, as our list grows. We are still just beginning.

Peter Owen PublishersLondon, UKPeter Owen (1927–2016) started his company, aged twenty-four, six years after the Second World War. He ran the business from home, with a typewriter as his only equipment. Soon, however, the company started to flourish, enabling him to employ some staff – his first editor was Muriel Spark. He was able to bring some of the very best international literature to what was a very insular British market. In the decades since then, although the industry has changed beyond recognition, Peter Owen Publishers continues the tradition of producing new and interesting writing. The company has published seven Nobel Prize winners, including Hermann Hesse, Octavio Paz and Isaac Bashevis Singer, and boasts a backlist that includes some of the most talented and important writers from all over the world.

The Picador list includes literary fiction; new, relevant and challenging fiction; narrative non-fiction; authoritative, cultural non-fiction; and the best contemporary poetry, as well as a number of uncategorizable books that will, we hope, surprise you.

Serpent's TailLondon, UKPete Ayrton founded Serpent’s Tail in 1986 in order to introduce British readers to risk-taking world literature no one else in the UK was publishing. The list quickly established a reputation for fearlessness, and for discovering an eclectic range of ground-breaking fiction and non-fiction, launching the careers of writers such as David Peace, Michel Houellebecq and Colm Tóibín and turning transgressive books such as Catherine Millet’s The Sexual Life of Catherine M and Lionel Shriver’s We Need To Talk About Kevin into bestsellers.

After two decades of independence, in 2007 Serpent’s Tail joined Profile Books, also independent, where it continues as an imprint that celebrates originality. We publish books that we think matter, whether they are literary novels or crime fiction, works in translation or non-fiction books on contemporary culture and politics.

Verve Poetry PressBirmingham, UKVerve Poetry Press is a prize-winning Birmingham based publisher dedicated to promoting and showcasing Birmingham and Midlands poetic talent in colourful and exciting ways. (Just what you’d expect from a press that had grown out of the giddy and flamboyant annual four days of poetry and spoken word that is Verve Poetry Festival. We publish debut collections from poets with both page and performance backgrounds, and we have a broad sense of what poetry is and can be. We are keen that the poets we publish reflect the variety of our city and our festival – in terms of culture, age and class. We are keen that voices and works that aren’t fully represented in the national poetry discussion get heard. We also publish debut and between-collection pamphlets by poets we love, and also books to accompany poetry shows which capture the life and vibe of performance focussed poetry experiences. We are looking for colour, energy and open-heartedness in all the works we publish. We are looking for poetry that works in performance and performances that work on the page. We think poetry should be read and heard, spoken and thought. And of course CELEBRATED!!https://vervepoetrypress.com/about/
