Welcome
We are a very small, very independent, very specialised publishing house, based in London England. Founded in 1997, the Origin of Books ™ (OoB) also has offices in Teaneck, NJ (USA) and New York City (USA).
We choose the books we publish with extraordinary care and attention to detail. We think about them, we discuss them, we argue about them. We read them aloud, and then we read them to ourselves, to our families, and to each other. We live with them.
In the end, we will only publish those books that speak to us—and those that grip our attention. Our primary focus is biographies & memoirs but we may consider any genre that meets our standard of quality.
If you have an idea for a book, or a manuscript for us to consider, please submit a book proposal. The best way to "contact us" is via email.
Kindly do not send your manuscript to us, unless or until we have requested for you to do so.
