We make books for everyone — because a great book can change anyone.
For over a decade we've given independent authors the same craft, care and reach as the world's biggest publishing houses — while they keep every ounce of control.
The story you've carried for years. The one only you can tell.
The draft gathering dust in a drawer. The bestseller it was always meant to be.
The idea that keeps you awake at night. The book that keeps readers awake too.

Craft & Care
Born from a simple frustration
Penguin Books Publisher began with a problem we couldn't ignore: brilliant authors were being turned away by an industry that put gatekeepers before storytellers.
So we built the alternative. We paired independent authors with the same editors, designers and marketers the big houses rely on — then handed them the keys. Full creative control. Every right. One hundred percent of the royalties.
Thousands of titles and a dozen countries later, that mission hasn't moved an inch. Your name goes on the cover. Ours never does.
