Publishing with Red Kite
Helping thoughtful authors bring exceptional books to life.
The Publishing Philosophy
Every manuscript begins with an idea.
Whether it is a novel, a business book, a memoir or a specialist work, every published book starts with a single idea and someone with the determination to write it.
At Red Kite Publishing, we believe every manuscript deserves careful consideration. We work with authors who have something worthwhile to say and who are passionate about sharing their knowledge, experience or imagination with others.
Who We Work With
Rather than listing genres, I’d describe the people.
We enjoy working with…
- Fiction writers with original stories.
- Subject experts with knowledge worth sharing.
- Historians and researchers.
- Business professionals.
- Memoir and biography authors.
- Writers with a fresh perspective.
Notice there is no mention of “we only publish…” yet.
What we are looking for
We are particularly interested in projects that demonstrate:
✓ Original thinking
✓ Careful research
✓ Clear writing
✓ A genuine understanding of the intended readership
✓ A passion for the subject
Our Approach
This is where Red Kite becomes different.
Publishing is a partnership.
We don’t believe every manuscript suits every publisher.
For that reason, we work selectively, choosing projects where we genuinely believe we can add value through editorial guidance, design, marketing and long-term support.
Every author is different.
Every book is different.
Our approach reflects that.
Before You Contact Us
This is where expectations are set politely.
Before getting in touch
Please tell us:
- what your book is about;
- whether the manuscript is complete;
- your intended readership;
- any previous publishing history;
- why you believe Red Kite Publishing is the right home for your work.
That last bullet is important. It encourages authors to look at your catalogue before contacting you.
Start the Conversation
Let’s start with a conversation.
Thinking about publishing with Red Kite?
Tell us a little about your book and where you are in the process. We review every enquiry personally and will be in touch if the project appears to fit our publishing approach.
If you think your manuscript aligns with our publishing philosophy, we’d be delighted to hear from you. Complete the enquiry form below and tell us a little about your project.
What happens next?
Every project begins with a conversation.
If we believe your manuscript aligns with our publishing philosophy, we’ll arrange an informal discussion to learn more about you, your book and your publishing goals. From there, we’ll explore together whether Red Kite Publishing is the right home for your work.
Because we work closely with every author, we only take on projects where we believe we can make a meaningful contribution. If your manuscript fits our publishing philosophy, we’d love to explore the possibilities together.
Every published book once existed only in the imagination of its author.
