"Transworld was named by a small US team who flew over to the UK on what was then Transworld airlines, to set up a new company as an import house for their US paperbacks."

Transworld is now the UK’s leading fiction publisher and we regularly have more titles on the Sunday Times bestsellers lists than any other publishing house.

Many of the nation’s biggest-selling brand name authors have been published by us for their entire writing careers, including Kate Atkinson, Dan Brown, Lee Child, Jilly Cooper, Frederick Forsyth, Robert Goddard, John Irving, Sophie Kinsella, Armistead Maupin, Andy McNab, Terry Pratchett and Joanna Trollope. We are also home to No.1 bestselling novelists Ben Elton, Tess Gerritsen, Joanne Harris and Danielle Steel.

We publish some of the biggest names in non-fiction including Bill Bryson, Richard Dawkins, Paul O’Grady, Bear Grylls, Stephen Hawking, Dr D.G.Hessayon and Paul McKenna.
