BenBella Books Revenue and Competitors

BenBella Books is a publishing boutique that aims to be the publisher of choice for a select group of authors who value personal attention, a partnership philosophy, flexibility and a creative approach to marketing. BenBella Books was founded with a simple mission: To publish wonderful, exciting books To partner with our authors to creatively and aggressively market every book we publish To generate significant value for our authors To understand and exploit the rapidly changing publishing and marketing environment BenBella publishes a range of nonfiction (and the very occasional fiction title) and particularly likes quality nonfiction aimed at a niche market. BenBella is very strong in health and nutrition, with exciting and important titles such as The China Study, The Cure for Alcoholism, The Great American Heart Hoax and Health at Every Size. We have a growing presence in business and popular science. BenBella also publishes the very successful Smart Pop series, smart and entertaining critical examinations of television, movies, comics and books. Book publishing is going through profound changes and no one really knows where this industry will wind up. This is what makes publishing such a fascinating business to be in, but we think a few essentials will always remain: Publish with passion. Most books are sold because one person says to another, "You need to read this book. Passion can't be created or marketed into a book. It only emerges as the result of an author finding a way to delight, entertain, illuminate or educate in a way that resonates with the reader. At BenBella, we try hard to only publish books that we care passionately about, books that are exciting, fun or profound. We'd rather publish fewer books than publish anything we aren't crazy about. But we aren't snobs. Just because a book is intelligent doesn't mean it can't also be fun. Publishing is a partnership between author and publisher. Publishing starts and ends with authors and we go out of our way to remember that. We strive for full, ongoing and prompt communication with our authors. We're very open, easy to work with and we're nice folks. We look for authors who want a true partnership and who are, similarly, open and pleasant to work with.
