Inquisitive? Independent?
Love great writing?
For over sixty years we have done more than anyone
else to bring new, challenging and exciting writing from just about everywhere
to readers absolutely everywhere – see our 60th anniversary page to see how we celebrated 60 years in 2011. As an independent publisher we have always
had to punch above our weight to make an impact, so if we say that in the
process we have published countless great works, including those of seven
Nobel Prize winners, you will understand why we’re proud of our record. . .
We would be grateful if you would take a look around this website to discover
some of our titles; or perhaps acquaint yourself with our authors. Most
importantly, get to know us as publishers, because we value your readership
and would welcome any suggestions that you might have.

The Hundred Days reviewed in the Sunday Telegraph
'This is not perhaps the real Napoleon, but it’s certainly a remarkable creation that leaps off the page.' – Jack Kerridge, The Sunday Telegraph
The full review of The Hundred Days can be seen here
Allen Saddler R.I.P.
We are very sorry to record the passing of one of our authors, Allen Saddler. Peter Owen published two of his novels: Bless 'Em All and The Long and the Short. A talented writer of novels, books for children and plays, Allen was a well-respected theatre reviewer for many years as well – you can read more about him here. We also recommend this moving piece from The Oldie which appeared not so long ago and The Independent's obituary gives a full record of his many achievements as a writer over the years.
We have had some major review coverage for The Lost Word by Turkish writer, Oya Baydar. Go to our Blog pages to see reviews in The Guardian, The Independent and the new edition of Time Out Istanbul
