Uma editora construída sobre uma só ideia

Arkedia Publishers is a London-registered book writing and publishing company. We were founded on a straightforward observation: the self-publishing industry had quietly filled up with companies that take a percentage of an author's royalties in perpetuity, keep the publishing accounts in their own name, and hand back a book the author does not fully control.

We decided to do the opposite, and to be boring about it. You pay once, for work. Copyright assigns to you in writing. Retailer accounts are opened in your name. Royalties are paid directly into your bank account, and we never see them.

Since then we have delivered over a thousand books for more than twelve hundred authors in over forty countries — memoirs written from hospital bedsides, business books that turned into speaking careers, children's series, thrillers, academic monographs and a surprising number of family histories that will never be sold to anyone.

We work with a network of more than 150 specialist writers, editors, designers and narrators, matched to each project by genre rather than availability. Everyone who touches your material signs a non-disclosure agreement individually.

We are not the cheapest option and we do not pretend to be. What we are is specific: a fixed price, a dated schedule, a free sample before you commit, and a book at the end of it that belongs entirely to you.
