Canbury Press specialises in modern non-fiction books with a strong narrative pull. An award-winning journalist and Sunday Times-bestselling author, Martin Hickman (above), founded the company in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, in 2013.

Canbury's titles range widely over contemporary topics, from politics to biography, nature to technology, and citizenship to health. We have published Ian Dunt, Gavin Esler, Lily Bailey, Jon Alexander, and Gulbahar Haitiwaji, among others, with forewords by Brian Eno, Bonnie Greer, Chris Packham and Tony Blair.

Our books have received major media and retailer focus and have been translated into multiple foreign languages. Canbury has been shortlisted twice for UK Small Publisher of the Year. 

Our aim is to depict the world as it really is, stripped of spin.
