We are an independent publishing house, with offices in London, Dubai, Los Angeles and Mumbai. We pride ourselves on our wide range of genres and giving ambitious authors a platform that is so rarely available in the publishing industry today. All of our books and authors are enormously special in their own way. We believe that a story can evoke a large range of emotions; they can make you laugh, cry and, most importantly, change a life.
As an independent publisher, our efforts to promote both our books and authors are our highest priority. We've published over 4,000 titles from a range of genres, which include thrillers, poetry, non-fiction, self help, romance, children's stories and more.
Our core belief is to provide a strong platform for our authors to publish and share their stories to millions of avid readers worldwide. Our authors benefit from our ever-growing trade and distribution channels, including various bookshops and online retailers around the world. We have various wholesalers distributing our diverse range of books, media spots to promote our titles and book signings for our authors.
We are excited to serve our authors in the middle east from our office in the UAE, known for it's renowned elegance, and architecture. Our journey to help both our existing and new authors is well under way, offering a professional service with promising results.
It's the time to tell your story with Olympia Publishers.
We work under the hybrid model of publishing, where all initial work submitted to us is considered for a ‘traditional publishing contract’. This is where no costs are incurred by the author and the whole cost for producing, publishing and marketing the work is covered by Olympia Publishers. However, please bear in mind that not all work can be accepted under these terms. As we receive hundreds of submissions each month, we cannot guarantee which titles will be selected for publication. However, we do try to offer advice to authors if there is anything about the publishing process that confuses them or they are unsure of, even if we cannot publish your work. Should we be unable to offer a traditional contract, but we feel the work has potential an alternative offer may be made. This offer is known as a ‘Hybrid contract’ and is based on a contribution, to be paid by the author, to cover the initial production and printing cost of the book..
Please see our submissions page for further information on how to submit your work to us.
2018 marked the start of our global expansion journey.

“As an editor, it is my job to review and critique the work of a writer. As a writer you are the creator, the architect, relying on the expertise of the editor. One might argue that being a creator is more important and deserves more credit and to that I must agree. As without writers, where would we be?
Writing a piece of literature can be an extremely arduous and draining process, whether it be fiction or non-fiction, romance or fantasy. However, only after great struggle can you receive the ultimate reward, a published book. Having your name on the front cover of something very personal to you, the author. Something you have created. Something you can be proud to call your own.
I hope we can turn that ultimate reward into a reality and make your book – which probably started out as a small idea – into a big future.”
