Our Story
We initially founded our business in 2010, hoping to build a community of like-minded publishing people. Over the past 13 years we have developed the business, and BookMachine now offers much more than that.
Since those early days we have …
- Hired a brilliant team. There are now nine of us at BookMachine, here to execute on everything we do as our Agency, Community and CAMPUS evolve.
- Delivered outstanding campaigns and digital projects for over 70 clients in publishing and education.
- Hosted 100+ online and in-person events – both for BookMachine members and for publishers and organisations across the industry.
- Launched a growing library of CAMPUS hour-long online video courses.
- Invited publishing companies to join as BookMachine members. These company members now include Bonnier Books UK, Quarto Publishing, Simon & Schuster and Jessica Kingsley Publishers.
- Started fundraising for Book Aid International (2021), The Red Cross (2022) and Bookmark Reading Charity (2023).
- Hosted Publisher Walk & Talk events, giving our community more ways to get to know each other
- Grown our membership base, which now spans the UK, USA, Spain, France, Ireland, Canada, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Ecuador, Malta, India, Cyprus and Lebanon.
