Welcome!
Nick Owen Publishing (NOP) exists to entertain, provoke, question and occasionally misbehave. We publish books that refuse to sit quietly in their allotted categories. Some are comic. Some are satirical. Some are strange, tender, unruly or unashamedly eccentric. Some play games with truth, memory and identity. Others bear witness to the moments when truth itself becomes fragile, dangerous or urgently necessary.
A NOP book is not the end of a publishing process or a one-off transaction. It’s the first expression of an idea and the beginning of a relationship: capable of becoming audio, performance, exhibition, learning, merchandise, travel, partnership or membership. We aim to create interesting things for interesting people and we invite people to remain curious about what comes next. This philosophy reinforces the company’s wider promise:
Life is not over. The interesting bit may only just be getting started.
What’s On at NOP during September / October 2026?
