Who We Are
Aurelia House was established with a singular mission: to serve as a home for literature that endures beyond seasonal reading trends. Operating from our historic offices in Bloomsbury, our publishing imprint brings together seasoned editors, master typographers, and passionate bookbinders dedicated to the craft of physical and digital publishing.
Over the past thirty years, we have nurtured voice after voice, building an expansive catalog encompassing historical fiction, architectural philosophy, translated classics, and evocative poetry. Our independent status allows us to champion bold literary endeavors that larger commercial conglomerates often overlook.
We view publishing not merely as a commercial venture, but as a cultural stewardship. Every title bearing the Aurelia seal represents hundreds of hours of editorial refinement, rigorous fact checking, and deliberate artistic curation.
What We Publish
Our publishing catalog is divided into three focused imprints: Aurelia Classics, Aurelia Contemporary Fiction, and Aurelia Scholar. Each imprint maintains its own specialized editorial board ensuring that every volume achieves the highest standards of intellectual and aesthetic value.
In fiction, we seek stories with rich characterization, vivid historical atmosphere, and profound human themes. In non-fiction, our titles span environmental humanities, social history, philosophy, and architectural criticism.
Whether presenting a new translation of forgotten nineteenth-century memoirs or launching a debuts author's debut novel, we format every edition for optimal legibility across hardcover printings and digital reading devices.
Our Commitment to Authors & Readers
We cultivate deep, lifelong partnerships with our authors. From preliminary outline development through post-publication international publicity tours, our editorial team works side-by-side with writers to honor their vision while reaching wider global audiences.
To our readers, we guarantee exceptional quality in both physical manufacture and digital distribution. Our physical paperbacks use FSC-certified acid-free paper designed to resist yellowing over decades, while our DRM-friendly eBooks ensure seamless reading on any screen.
We are committed to sustainable printing practices, reducing carbon emissions across our international logistics chain, and maintaining fair royalty structures that empower authors to sustain lifetime writing careers.
