About Us

SJH Publishing

Specialising in compelling autobiographies, memoirs and other non-fiction publications, SJH Publishing is the best-selling, retail publishing division of the St James’s House media group.

We believe that the perfect read is the result of inspired ideas and comprehensive planning. Using the world’s leading authors, ghostwriters, editors, illustrators and graphic designers, we produce titles that engage on sight and enthral with well-crafted stories.

Our creative and commercially savvy publishing team is always on the lookout for fresh ideas and gaps in the market, and invariably has a wide range of big-name titles under development.

Thanks to our broad network of media contacts, we are also ideally positioned to manage publicity around our titles, and we regularly secure coverage in major newspapers and broadcast media.
