Message from the founder
Dear Reader,
The book publishing industry is currently undergoing great change. With the introduction of e-readers and the popularity of self-publishing, traditional publishers are at a key moment in history that will decide the future of trade publishing.
I founded Knox Robinson Publishing in 2010 with the goal of becoming the industry's leader in historical fiction, historical romance and fantasy publishing. As an academically-trained historian with a background in sales, marketing and business development, my vision for KRP incorporates the use of social media (Facebook, Twitter, podcasting, book trailers, etc.) and direct-to-consumer marketing into the traditional publishing model.
Knox Robinson Publishing is working to establish a readership community by offering our readers quality works of fiction, a subscription service, giveaways and free content such as eBooks, short stories, audio and video. Readers are encouraged to get involved by signing up to our mailing list and joining our community forum.
All of our authors work diligently to market and promote their titles. In our first year we had numerous bookstore signings in the UK, America and Canada, countless book launch parties, conference appearances and library talks. One of our authors was featured on a popular breakfast show in Canada. All in our first year!
By the close of 2011, Knox Robinson Publishing had successfully released seven titles - one made a bestsellers list in Canada, whilst yet another was favourably reviewed by The Daily Mail. By the close of 2012, we will have released eighteen titles, one of which, Lenin's Harem, has been endorsed by the former dean of the CIA's Sherman Kent School for Intelligence Analysis.
We have recently started filming documentaries to accompany our historical fiction novels and soon, we will introduce the KRP multi-platform application for mobiles and tablets.
Knox Robinson Publishing is staffed by a small group of professionals who work together to bring you the best books possible.
We are uniquely positioned as an international, specialist publisher. As a young house with a passion for the genres we publish, we are excited about the challenges the new publishing model presents and we are prepared to meet these challenges head-on.
If you are thinking of becoming a KRP author, I encourage you to submit your work by following the guidance on the submissions page.
I operate an open door policy and appreciate constructive criticism and encouragement, so feel free to contact me directly at d(dot)rob(at)knoxrobinsonpublishing(dot)com.
Thank you for your support and happy reading!
