Brand profile · Book and Periodical Publishing
Exisle Publishing runs a Book and Periodical Publishing operation from Dunedin. It is privately held, and its site is exislepublishing.com. It holds two addresses on record across two office countries. Headcount on record is 14. Its work is tagged history, nature and health. The record links four similar brands, most of them in Book and Periodical Publishing.
Exisle Publishing was founded in 1991 with a goal to shine a light on local characters, artists and writers, and bring books into the world which would never otherwise have existed.
Since then, our books have spread across the globe; we now have staff across the English speaking world and sell foreign rights to dozens of countries in Europe, Asia and Latin America.
But Exisle's mission remains the same. We are still proudly independent, endeavouring to give voice to those who don’t have it, and serve the communities that corporate publishers tend to ignore.
Our children’s imprint EK Books has the DNA of a self help publisher and has joyously spread into environmental, creative learning, and other subjects.
In the last twelve months, we launched Exisle Academy, a community which provides online instruction to writers who want to get published. We have even published some of our student’s work, but we are also pleased when they are published elsewhere. Again, we are about making sure their voices can be and are heard.
The Academy also works alongside Emotional Inheritance, an imprint and service that helps families hold on to the stories that define them.
Next? Well, that’s up to you. Join our community to keep in touch.
