Medina Publishing Company Profile

Medina Publishing Ltd (MPL) is a young publishing house with offices in Surrey and the Isle of Wight. Independent, and often iconoclastic, the company constantly seeks to expand its horizons. From its foundation in 2009, MPL has established a reputation for high quality books on the Arabian Peninsula and Islamic affairs, from academic works to illustrated children’s books and, most significantly, the Arabian horse. More recently, it has branched out into such diverse areas as biography and memoirs, cli-fi and YA, photography and politics, and – under its imprint Barzipan – romance and humour. Through its sister company, Synthetic Press based in Berlin, most titles are simultaneously produced as e-books and many have their own websites. Medina Publishing recently purchased Arabian Publishing – a complete list of their titles can be found at medinapublishing.com and they are available through Oxbow.

MPL’s directors have strong links in the UK and the Middle East and a lifetime of experience in publishing and the Arab world.
