Our Story: We founded The Book Shelf ® in 2018. Since then, we have grown a team of bookworms who collectively have 55 years’ experience and over 1500 books under their belt. We’ve worked with authors in 22 countries around the world — from first timers to New York Times bestsellers. We’re proud to have helped our authors win awards, earn thousands for charity, and become TED talkers. We’ve also been finalists in 4 awards, protected 625 acres of rainforest, sponsored a local girl’s football team, and supported several charities.

Company Mission: Our mission is to make the publishing industry more sustainable, accessible, impactful, and diverse because the creation of great books shouldn’t destroy our planet or exclude people. We want to revolutionise the publishing industry so it’s for the many, not just for the few, and better for our planet too. We hope you’ll join us on our journey.

Next Phase: We’re currently prototyping a tech platform that we’ll launch as a new company. This platform will be the Swiss Army Knife of the publishing industry, giving aspiring authors everything, they need to write and publish a professional, life-changing book in one easy, ethical place — something that currently doesn’t exist in the world.

Get Involved: If you're an individual or organisation with a passion for literature, sustainability, diversity, and accessibility in publishing, there are several ways to get involved. If you are a tech enthusiast, writer, editor, or someone with skills and insights that can contribute to our tech platform, we welcome collaboration and partnerships that can help us bring this innovative tool to life. If you share our mission to make publishing more sustainable, accessible, impactful, and diverse, your support and advocacy can play a vital role in spreading the word and uniting a community of like-minded individuals.
