Austin Macauley Publishers Limited is a reputable British book publisher with offices in London, New York and Sharjah. The company was founded in 2006 and publishes fiction and non-fiction books by both first-time authors and notable individuals and academics in English and Arabic languages.
Business model The company operates a 'hybrid' publishing model, offering 'non-contributory', or traditional publishing contracts, and some 'partnership agreement' contracts, in which the author pays a part of the publication cost.
According to Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFFWA), the publisher is a vanity press which as of 2019 typically required fees from £1,275 upwards from writers. It was discussed in a report by the Writers Guild of Great Britain and the Society of Authors, in which it was criticised for a lack of transparency regarding the cost to authors of publishing with the company.
