Beatnik Publishing

By A - F, Directory

Beatnik is an invigorating hub of creativity with a talented core staff of designers, photographers and illustrators working together to publish beautiful books.

To ensure we fulfil the visions of the authors we work with, every project with us is a complete collaboration. We’re known for producing vibrant and meaningful books that are exquisitely designed and intimate in their approach. We are continually expanding our small but perfectly formed catalogue that already spans genres as varied as cookery, children’s tales, poetry, art and street culture.

We have a team of talented designers who create our books. We also handle all the production work, which includes editing, arranging the printing, shipping and working with our distributors – all to our high and exacting standards. We have a dedicated publicist who talks to media about Beatnik books and guides authors through the promotional side of book publishing.

When we’re not making books into works of art, we turn our design skills to other areas — including but not limited to annual reports, brochures, or whatever else you, your company, charity, or any other group require. We are always on the lookout for business development and sales opportunities for our authors in New Zealand, and rights opportunities overseas.

Take a look at our catalogue here or contact us to discuss your latest idea.
