About us

Sparkling Books is a really independent publishing house and a member of Independent Publishers Guild.

We publish:

• interesting non-fiction in finance, business, economics, and some current affairs, in print and e-books.

• fiction written in English as e-books and sometimes in printed form.

All our e-books are sold to the global English-speaking market. We are proactive in using retailer promotions and targeted advertising. We sell translation rights to foreign publishers.

Submissions are dealt with as fast as possible. We will not keep authors waiting for months. All submissions must be made through our submissions pages. Please do not telephone us. Your manuscript must be independently edited prior to submission.

Our printed books are distributed by Central Books in the UK and Lightning Source and partners in the USA, Canada, Australia and many other countries.

Our e-books are distributed by INscribe Digital (part of IPGbook group, Chicago) in most of the world, also by Gardners in the UK and by PublishDrive who cover parts of Asia including China.
