A small press with a broad perspective.

Artal Books is an independent publisher of nonfiction, essays and contemporary fiction. It was created to publish books grounded in knowledge and experience, written with the clarity needed to reach every curious reader.

We look for books with a distinct perspective, a recognisable voice and something genuine to contribute. Every title receives close attention to content, language and design, from the first idea to the finished book.

The “What Should I Know?” series offers rigorous, verified and independent information about questions that directly affect people’s decisions. Its motto —“Science, experience and clarity to make the best decisions”— expresses the particular commitment of that series.

Across essays and fiction, Artal Books extends that outlook to books that invite readers to observe, understand and tell the world from new angles.
