Profile Books
Profile Books was founded in 1996 to publish stimulating non-fiction in a wide range of fields, including history and current affairs, business and economics, science and biography, with a sprinkling of humour. Our authors include Robert Greene, Ryan Holiday, Mary Beard, Shoshana Zuboff, Oliver Bullough and Kwame Anthony Appiah. We are the proud publishing partner of The Economist Books and the Wellcome Collection books. In January 2007 Profile acquired Serpent’s Tail, a company that publishes highly distinctive award-winning international fiction such as We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver, Sarah Perry's The Essex Serpent and Esi Edugyan's Washington Black as well as cutting-edge non fiction. In 2018, Profile took over Souvenir Press, which has a backlist of 500 active titles and is especially strong in psychology, personal development, health and wellness. The company has been Small Publisher of the Year on three occasions. It prides itself on its commitment to its books and its authors, its professionalism and business rigour, its open management style and its nimbleness in responding to market opportunities.
