The best of both worlds
Echo Publishing enjoys the best of both worlds, as do our authors.
As a small, proudly Australian business, we have the freedom and independence to curate a range of titles that surprise, delight and inform our readers. We can be both agile and versatile in our decisions, and we are able to give every book that we publish individual care and attention.
But as part of the family-owned Bonnier Group, we also have access to the skills, resources and publishing opportunities that underpin much bigger companies than our own. This allows us to offer our authors benefits that are unusual for a company of our size, including representation at major international book fairs by a dedicated and passionate sales team.
A commonality of purpose
We are united in our support for the values that underpin Bonnier: every perspective matters, every story matters, every future matters and every voice matters.
We are united in our commitment to our authors. We listen to and respect their concerns and opinions. We understand that they have trusted us with their work, and we take seriously our responsibility to help them build their careers over the long term.
We are united in our effort to always collaborate with our colleagues, customers and suppliers fairly, honestly and with kindness.
But we are also united in ensuring that we keep a sense of perspective, take joy in the ridiculous and laugh, loudly and often. “A sense of humour is just common sense dancing.” (Clive James)
Every book matters
We love the books that we publish, and we want to challenge, enthral, entertain and comfort our readers.
We know that fantastic stories can come from anywhere, and we are committed to bringing them to as wide an audience as possible.
We embrace the new, while also respecting the tried and true.
We strive to make beautiful books that reflect our author’s vision, with the help of the many fine editors and designers who work with us, and we do this as sustainably as possible.
Above all we care. We care about what we do, we care about who we do it with and we care about how we do it.
