Who we are Atlantic Books is an independent British publishing house. It was founded in February 2000 and published its first book in May 2001. It has since developed a list that has a world-wide reputation for quality, originality and breadth, and includes fiction, history, politics, memoir and current affairs. It won 'Imprint and Editor of the Year' at the British Books Awards in 2005 and 2009, and was 'Independent Publisher of the Year' in 2009. In 2009 Atlantic Books entered a partnership with Australia’s largest independent publisher Allen & Unwin. Atlantic Books are proud to represent key Allen & Unwin titles from their adult list in the UK. In 2010 Atlantic launched a new genre fiction imprint, Corvus, introducing the world of crime, fantasy, historical and women’s fiction into the Company's expanding list, and satisfying the market's increasing thirst for ebooks. In 2010, Atlantic Books also began publishing a small selection of books on behalf of Grove/Atlantic Inc. in the UK under the Grove Press UK imprint.

Together, the publishers and booksellers are a unique umbrella organisation representing shared core values - Independence, Integrity, Quality and Range - in an increasingly centralised marketplace. Faber & Faber was awarded the IPG’s inaugural Independent Publishing AwardsNielsen Innovation of the Year Award for its Independent Alliance of publishers. |

| Skills | You’re not just interested in genre fiction, you’re a genre junky. You know the bestselling, the prizewinning and the fan favourites. You’ve taken that passion and deep market knowledge and made it into a demonstrably successful editorial career, publishing some of the sharpest and most eye-catching fiction out there, spotting breakout bestsellers and inspiring teams to follow your instincts. You love to find your books where others aren’t always looking, discovering the overlooked gems, betting on the next trend, working with authors to develop IP, getting involved in translation, and always being responsive to what readers are searching for. You publish your books with innovation and entrepreneurialism, acquiring rights, spotting untried routes to market, publishing to international audiences, and being responsive to data and technologically curious. You might come from a corporate or an indie, a traditional publisher or somewhere digitally focused |
