Canongate Books
Canongate was founded in 1973, and was taken over by current CEO Jamie Byng in 1994 following a management buyout. It has since emerged as one of the most dynamic publishing houses in Britain. With a distinctly international outlook, Canongate Books continues to nurture and publish new talent from around the world, whilst retaining the essence of the Scottish Canon. The company is one of the founding members of the Independent Alliance, a global alliance of eleven UK publishers and their international partners who share a common vision of editorial excellence, original, diverse publishing, innovation in marketing and commercial success.
Recent successes include Matt Haig’s The Midnight Library, Miranda July’s All Fours, Chloe Dalton’s Raising Hare and Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act.
