BenBella Books

Founded in 2001, BenBella Books is a publishing boutique that aims to be the publisher of choice for a select group of authors who value personal attention, a partnership philosophy, flexibility, and a creative approach to marketing.

BenBella operates on a simple business philosophy:

  • Publish wonderful, exciting books
  • Provide our authors with true partnership in every aspect of the publishing process
  • Creatively and aggressively market every book we publish
  • Generate significant value for our authors
  • Understand and exploit the rapidly changing publishing and marketing environment

This approach has been very fruitful. With fourteen New York Times bestsellers, a slew of category leaders, and one title selling over two million copies, BenBella’s approach has delivered strong results―both for our firm and for our authors.

BenBella publishes a range of nonfiction (and the very occasional fiction title) in a wide variety of categories and particularly likes quality nonfiction aimed at a niche market.

BenBella is very strong in health and nutrition with exciting and important titles such as The China StudyThe Dr. Sears T5 Wellness Plan, The Happy Herbivore series, and Tiny & Full.

BenBella is particularly active in publishing serious but highly commercial nonfiction in the categories of science, culture, and current events. Titles in this area include The Formula, When the Uncertainty Principle Goes to 11, and The Boy Crisis.

BenBella also excels in the business category, with a mix of popular and inspirational titles such as the New York Times bestsellers Custom NationThree Simple StepsThe Entrepreneur Equation, and Networking is a Contact Sportand strong long-term sellers such as Traction and The Zen of Social Media Marketing.
