What we publish
Science & Technology
Popular science, computing, artificial intelligence, engineering, medicine and the technologies changing the world.
Business, Finance & Economics
Founders, leadership, organisations, markets, investing, economics and the future of work.
Ideas & Society
Psychology, cognition, decision-making, innovation and the forces changing how we live.
Selected Fiction
Speculative fiction, near-future novels and intelligent thrillers with a substantial idea at their centre.
The house
Our founding list will be deliberately small. Every book must earn its place on it.
We combine experience in UK book production, digital marketing and publishing technology with specialist editors and technical reviewers commissioned title by title.
We are building a catalogue for the long term: selecting carefully, publishing on traditional terms and giving each book the editorial, production and commercial attention it requires.
Submissions
are open.
We are reading manuscripts and proposals for our founding list, directly from writers. No literary agent is required and authors never pay Verlagi to publish.
