Australia’s leading and largest independent publisher is the majority shareholder of Atlantic Books. In the UK, we publish quality non-fiction for a ready market, as well as a carefully selected list of literary and commercial fiction.
From the vibrant Red by Jacky Colliss Harvey to the Samuel Johnson-winning NeuroTribes by Steve Silberman, from the Man Booker Prize longlisted Michelle de Kretser to the Richard and Judy Book Club author Charity Norman, the Allen & Unwin list is lively, focused and increasingly a fixture of the UK publishing landscape.
Permissions: The rights to all titles published by Allen & Unwin in the UK before 1990 now belong to HarperCollins, who list information about their permissions processes here and can be contacted at permissions@harpercollins.co.uk. Please note that HarperCollins subsequently sold Allen & Unwin’s academic titles to Routledge, who are owned by Taylor & Francis. So if the title you are seeking to clear permissions from is an academic title published prior to 1990 you’ll need to contact Taylor & Francis (info@tandf.co.uk). If the title was published by Allen & Unwin after 1990, please get in touch with us: you can read about our permissions process here.
