BenBella Books

Founded in 2001, 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 operates on a simple business philosophy: Publish wonderful, exciting books Provide our authors with true partnership in every aspect of the publishing process Creatively and aggressively market every book we publish Generate significant value for our authors Understand and exploit the rapidly changing publishing and marketing environment This approach has been very fruitful. With fourteen New York Times bestsellers, a slew of category leaders, and one title selling over two million copies, BenBella's approach has delivered strong resultsboth for our firm and for our authors. BenBella publishes a range of nonfiction (and the very occasional fiction title) in a wide variety of categories 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 Dr. Sears T5 Wellness Plan,The Happy Herbivore series, and Tiny & Full. BenBella is particularly active in publishing serious but highly commercial nonfiction in the categories of science, culture, and current events. Titles in this area include The Formula, When the Uncertainty Principle Goes to 11, and The Boy Crisis. BenBella also excels in the business category, with a mix of popular and inspirational titles such as the New York Times bestsellers Custom Nation, Three Simple Steps, The Entrepreneur Equation, and Networking is a Contact Sport, and strong long-term sellers such as Traction and The Zen of Social Media Marketing. BenBella has a strong list of pop culture/celebrity titles, with bestselling books such as The Actor's Life, The Geraldo Show,Pretty Little Killers, Presumed Guilty, and Family Don't End with Blood. BenBella publishes the very successful Smart Pop Books, a collection of smart and entertaining critical examinations of television, movies, comics, and books. BenBella also publishes selected books under the "BenBella Cause" program in which we publish books associated with a worthy cause and donate half of our profits back to that cause. As a first-time editor, I must say that my publishing experience was made incredibly easy by the wonderful folks at BenBella. They were right there with me at every turn and helped me navigate what otherwise would have been the intimidating intricacies involved in moving thoughts from paper to manuscript, and page to book. Bravo, too, to a publishing company with a conscience. In addition to taking me by the hand in the process, they took a leap of faith when they adopted our cause and published a cookbook dedicated to helping us feed thousands of seniors who would otherwise go hungry.
