Transworld

We are storytellers.

At Transworld, we love great storytelling. In books and stories we find our tribe – of authors, readers and colleagues.

We publish the UK’s very best and most-loved fiction and non-fiction. Our authors are master storytellers, commercial giants, and game-changing experts who challenge readers to open their hearts and minds. A Transworld book demands to be discussed, shared, and loved.

We bring our boundless energy, commercial might, and creative teamwork to everything we do. This collective spirit turns authors into brand names, builds debuts into bestsellers, and makes us hugely successful year in, year out. We have been awarded Publisher of the Year at the British Book Awards four times and are proud to have published a great many of our authors since the start of their writing careers.

At Transworld we publish across three distinct imprints, each with its own identity and carefully curated list: Bantam, Doubleday and Torva. Find out more about each imprint:
