Austin Macauley Publishers is a high-ranking hybrid publisher. Austin Macauley is one of the top hybrid publishers in the United States. Austin Macauley Publishers is a member of the Publishers Association (UK) and the International Book Publishers Association (IBPA). This establishes it as a credible hybrid publisher in the United States.
In addition to being a prominent hybrid publisher, Austin Macauley is also one of the first self-publishing companies to be recognized as a legitimate publishing house. This means that they have the resources needed to publish books from both established authors and those who want to try their hand at writing fiction.
Austin Macauley was founded in 1975 in New York City. They have offices in London, England and Melbourne, Australia. The company has published over 7,000 titles since its inception. Today, Austin Macauley is one of the largest independent book publishers in the US.
They aim to bring together the best of both worlds: traditional publishing and self-publication. By doing this, they are able to offer great prices on books while still maintaining high standards of production and marketing.
The majority of books that Austin Macauley publishes are novels, but they also publish non-fiction works, textbooks, and magazines. Some famous authors who have had books published by Austin Macauley include Michael Crichton, Anne Tyler, J.K. Rowling, and Jacqueline Wilson.
Since its inception in 2006, Austin Macauley Publisher has operated as a hybrid publisher, providing authors with the chance to get published when most traditional publishers closed their doors to new authors and turned their backs on unsolicited material. Although primarily a digital publisher, AMP does have an active print list and offers authors many opportunities to reach an audience through innovative partnerships.
Its parent company, Austin Macauley Books, was founded in 1990 by Austin Macauley (who died in 2007 at the age of 48) as a small independent press that published works of literary artistry and innovation. After Austin's death, his wife, Susan Macauley, continued to run the business along with an editorial staff of which I was fortunate enough to be one.
The imprint focused on publishing works that were often overlooked by other publishers, including novels, essays, and poems that challenged convention and explored the boundaries of human experience. Authors published by AMB include Michael Ondaatje, John Ashbery, Donald Barthelme, and Joseph Brodsky to name but a few. In 2009, Susan sold the company to Amazon.com for $10 million. She stayed on as executive editor until 2012 when she left to devote herself full time to her husband's legacy.
Austin Macauley Publishers is a good fit for me. To me, they are the greatest and only publisher who accepted my book, the crime collection that they are working on, and the only ones who are correcting a mistake they did in C19. They are also one of the only publishers who still sends me free copies of all their publications.
I love their books. I think most of them are fantastic. The editing process at other publishers is so bad that you are often left with nothing to do but edit yourself. But apart from that, I've had no problems with any other publisher.
The only thing is that some of their titles are very similar. For example, there are four crime novels by Ian Rankin out this year alone! But other than that, I like everything about them.
A hybrid publication that welcomes writers just because they are prepared to pay a price is not credible. Make your own imprint(s) and ISBNs. As previously noted, one aspect of vetting a hybrid publisher is being able to check their prior publications. Do they accept other people's work? If so, then you might have a problem.
The bottom line is this: You should only partner with a publisher if you believe your material is worth their time and effort. Everything else is just paying for a vanity address.
I strongly suggest Team Ukiyoto to my fellow authors and writers since they are a pleasure to work with. I'd been writing for a long time, but this was my first time working with a traditional publisher, and I'm grateful it was with Ukiyoto Publishing. They're very supportive of their authors and have some great ideas about marketing books that have never crossed my mind before.
The editor in me really likes that they don't try to force their editorial process on you. You get to decide what kind of book you want to write and whether or not you want to follow the path Ukiyoto suggests.
I also love that they're based in Hawaii. It's such a peaceful place with friendly people, and I think that comes through in their editing style which is free of jargon and easy to understand.
Finally, I love that they believe in supporting local businesses and have chosen to publish only one other book out of many that has been published by other companies. I think that shows how much they value quality over quantity.
Overall, I feel like Ukiyoto is publishing good because they're putting out high-quality books that appeal to a wide audience. There are many different genres they cover so if you can't find something that catches your eye elsewhere, you sure will at Ukiyoto.

The company was founded in Chicago in 1945 by Benjamin Randall Harper, who had worked for Henry Holt & Company since its inception in 1902. The name "Harper" comes from his father, a Baptist minister. Harper wanted to create a house that published books of quality and importance that other publishers would want to print.
In 1946, he hired Austin Walsh as an editor at the newly formed company. Together, they developed a list of popular authors including Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and John Steinbeck. This early success helped Harper gain support from the American Book Publisher's Association, which awarded him Book of the Year honors for 1947-48. In 1949, he moved the company's headquarters to New York City.
