2025 has been a remarkable year for Austin Macauley Publishers so far. This year, we have been a part of leading International Book Fairs all over the world, including London, New York, and Sharjah. Our presence at key literary gatherings and some wonderful collaborations have helped us increase our global outreach and connected us with authors who want to get their story published and known to the world.
Let's have a look at some of the main highlights of this year so far.
This year, we were a part of the 10th Istanbul Publishing Fellowship Program. Our Senior Rights Executive, Cansu Akkoyun, represented Austin Macauley Publishers at this prestigious event. This fellowship offered an opportunity for us to show our latest publications, connect with industry professionals and engage with readers from all around the globe.
The London Book Fair - One of the most significant literary events in the UK.
This year, we were once again privileged to be a part of this event and what an amazing time we had. Our stand showcased some of our latest publications, and we enjoyed inspiring conversations with our current authors. We also met new potential authors and industry professionals at the event.
The fair also gave us the chance to share our perspective on the future of publishing particularly the value of hybrid book publishing. We left with a lot of inspiring memories that we look forward to build on next year.
After a wonderful event, we had the chance to collaborate with Fight and Sight for a charitable cause. Our team donated 300 Books for this cause to support literacy and better vision. At Austin Macauley Publishers, we believe that literacy and vision are both the same. This partnership embodies our commitment to making a positive impact in the communities we serve, supporting both the joy of reading and the vital work of vision research.

This year we are proud to announce our new partnership with SchoolSupplier!
Through this collaboration, Austin Macauley Publishers has provided a curated catalogue of our authors’ books for schoolbook vending machines across the UK. These machines not only make inspiring literature more accessible but also encourage positive behaviour and foster a reading culture among students.
Our Rights Department has also been busy with several achievements this year:
