Key Facts in English:
Founded: 2006 in London.
Locations: Headquarters in London, with offices in New York and Sharjah.
Publishing Model: The company operates on a “partnership publishing” model (sometimes called hybrid publishing), which offers authors an alternative to traditional and self-publishing routes. In this model, authors may be required to contribute financially to the publication costs (up to two-thirds), while the publisher manages the process and international distribution.
Genres: They publish a diverse range of genres, including fiction, non-fiction, children’s literature, young adult titles, and academic works.
Reach: Austin Macauley publishes authors from over 36 countries and makes titles available in print, digital (eBook), and audio formats.
Reception: The company has faced controversy and accusations of being a “vanity press” by some writers’ associations due to its requirement for author financial contributions, despite the company’s self-description as a partnership publisher.
