Austin Macauley's 2018 Round up!
Austin Macauley Publishers has been around for more than a decade and has established itself as a reliable publishing house. We are open to options and possibilities as we believe in giving a fair chance to every author. We accept manuscripts across all genres with or without an agent. This year Austin Macauley has published a large number of great books and worked with numerous talented authors. Austin Macauley has been delivering a very impressive title count ever since its conception years. Over the years, we have received manuscripts from new and published authors from UK, USA, UAE, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and many other regions of the world. We have published ‘Running Wild’, an Autobiography and Memoir by Austin Stevens, star of Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel and Channel 5 UK. The famous thriller novel ‘Murder Secret’ by award-winning, Amazon Best Seller Author C. T. Mitchell, is also among the well-received publications of our company. Another addition to our proud publications list ‘the Russian Galatea’ a murder mystery by the famous award-winning actor, director and playwright, Ira David Wood III. Our catalogue showcases a very long list of our impressive publications we are proud of.
We also have a vast variety of genres in both fiction and non-fiction books collection. The genres we have covered include children’s book, young adult books, fantasy, crime, humour, mystery, romance, erotica, sci-fi, short stories, thriller, war, history, self-help books, religion politics, poetry, biography, education, health and much more.
Another milestone we celebrated in 2018; this year we celebrated the first anniversary of Austin Macauley Sharjah office in UAE. By opening its gateways for the Arab world, Sharjah office has not only earned Austin Macauley the status of ‘dual language’ publishers, but it has also provided a great platform for authors from the rich culture of UAE. Now we are publishing in both English and Arabic language, offering our services to a broader range of authors. We also have projects of translating Arabic books into English, and English books to Arabic.
Austin Macauley consistently attends International Book Fairs to showcase their top selling and new releases. Such events offer an immense benefit for networking and publicity for the company and authors. This year we attended the London Book Fair, Sharjah International Fairs, Abu Dhabi Book Fair, Book Expo US, Book Con NYC, Brooklyn Book Festival and many more.
We exhibited at the 25th Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF) – a first for Austin Macauley. The chief objective of our trip to China was to learn more about the Chinese market and tailor their services to what the Chinese consumers really need and potentially open new doors for authors.
In 2018, Publisher's Weekly magazine nominated us as one of the ‘Fastest Growing Publishers’. We take special pride in our teams working devotedly towards producing and marketing a handsome title count. Our offices are frequently visited by budding writers as well as recognized authors. PRNewswire reported that Austin Macauley’s UK office signed around 200 authors before its first anniversary. The same report appreciated the steady growth rate Austin Macauley had even before that, with a 330% sales rise from 2015 to 2017.
As speedy growth brought in higher tides of work, substantial growth in the size of skilled staff was employed to equate the work demand and the paralleling market competition. With bigger staff size and constantly improving skill sets to serve authors and deliver quality books to readers, Austin Macauley Publishers, within the first year of opening office in New York, a successful expansion resulted in the opening of our Sharjah office.
Austin Macauley Publishers will be opening an office in Sydney, Australia in the coming year. The launched is planned in February 2019. This will be an exciting opportunity for Australia based authors who wish to get published by a reputed publisher. The plans for the launch of offices in South Africa, Vancouver, New Zealand and Canada are also in the pipeline.
We have highly skilled Editorial and Production departments working in sync with Graphic Designing and Illustration departments. All departments working together, pouring in their share towards the book, give the simple and plain process of book publishing an incredible magical essence.
Our news and event section tells the tale of our hard work towards marketing our authors and books. We have recently acquired an affiliation with the huge international distributor Ingram. We also have proudly joined forces with IPG and IBPA. This is expected to enhance a reader’s experience of finding, ordering and receiving an Austin Macauley™ book around the globe. Austin Macauley Publishers is closing the chapter of the year 2018 with significant hallmarks of success and recognition. With such a successful closure of this year 2018 and many great projects in line, the Austin Macauley has great hopes for the new year 2019.
