O'Mara Books

We specialise in creative and inspired adult non-fiction.

First established in 1985, our publishing house has grown from humble beginnings into a respected force in the literary world. Over nearly four decades, we have produced more than 150 new books each year, carefully curating a robust catalog that now boasts over a thousand titles. Our extensive backlist represents a treasure trove of knowledge and entertainment, featuring both critically acclaimed works from respected authors and commercially successful best-sellers that have captured readers' hearts worldwide.

As an independent publisher, we maintain complete creative control over our editorial decisions, allowing us to remain agile and responsive to emerging trends while staying true to our core values. Our commercial approach ensures sustainability and growth, enabling us to continue investing in new talent and innovative projects. We pride ourselves on being always on-trend, consistently identifying and publishing content that resonates with contemporary readers while maintaining lasting literary value.

Our passion drives everything we do, from the initial manuscript selection to the final marketing campaign. We understand the profound impact that books can have on individuals and society as a whole, and we take this responsibility seriously. Each publication represents our commitment to enriching lives, sparking conversations, and contributing meaningfully to global discourse.

Our non-fiction list exemplifies our dedication to diversity and innovation. We publish comprehensive histories that illuminate the past, cutting-edge popular science that makes complex concepts accessible, and practical language guides that break down communication barriers. Our sports titles capture the excitement of athletic achievement, while our biographical works reveal the fascinating stories behind remarkable individuals. We also recognise the importance of leisure and creativity, offering engaging puzzle collections, thoughtful gift books, humour that brings joy to everyday life, and craft guides that inspire hands-on creativity.
This global reach reflects our understanding that great ideas transcend borders. Our books find their way into homes, schools, libraries, and bookstores across continents, connecting diverse audiences through shared knowledge and experiences.
This year holds special significance as we celebrate our 40th anniversary, marking four decades of literary excellence, innovation, and unwavering commitment to our readers and authors.
