Welcome to UCLan Publishing and a very different approach to publishing books! We are a trade, independent publisher based in Preston, Lancashire. We have big ambitions and a big heart. Continually striving to produce the best books in every genre from children’s fiction, to YA and adult fiction and non-fiction. We’re 100% dedicated to putting Northern Publishing on the map, and our events team work closely with Lancashire Libraries, local schools and other Publishers to create truly unique events. The Northern YA Literary Festival being one of them!

Our staff our highly experienced and professional book publishers with many years in the trade behind them, many at the highest level including Waterstones Head Office, Penguin Random House, Bloomsbury and Macmillan. Therefore, our books are superb quality and our noses are commercial.

We work with high-profile bestselling authors such as Jane Johnson and A J Hartley to bring the best fiction to life. However, we also work with communities across the world including Kenya, Zambia, Greenland, The Azores Australia and Oceania, giving them a voice, and address niche’s in the book market.

Whatever we do, we strive to produce beautiful books that people will love.

Oh, and we also train the next generation of talented publishers through our BA and MA Publishing programmes. The students on these courses have the unique experience of helping to run the publishing house at all levels. Told you we were different!

We are always happy to hear from people so please do drop us a line – DJWilliams1@uclan.ac.uk
