Anova Books in Something Directory

 

November 2005 saw the birth of a new independent publishing company - Anova Books. But this is ‘new’ with a heritage. That heritage consists of some of the best publishing imprints from the last 100 years; Batsford, Collins & Brown, Conway, National Trust Books, Pavilion, and Robson Books. We have created a new independent publisher building on the range of imprints previously contained within the Chrysalis Books Group. We believe that each of these imprints can really flourish within Anova. It’s a winning combination of the central big company clout of Anova Books with all the central resourcing and weight that carries, and the small individual imprint publishing teams with their various market strengths. As a management team we are passionately committed to our new venture and bring with us a lot of experience from a range of different publishing backgrounds. One thing we really forward to is an opportunity to shed the corporate mentality and be released from the confines of a big conglomerate. Anova will answer in future to its authors, customers, and staff. Our aim is to get from 250 new books each year to about 150. These 150 books will be the best of their kind and we will be proud of every one of them. We think that the prestigious and varied brands we work with say a lot about the range and energy of our publishing; The National Trust, NatMags (Good Housekeeping, Country Living, Zest, and Cosmopolitan), and Agent Provocateur. Within the imprint teams we want to empower our publishers and bring back a spirit of entrepreneurism and nimbleness. It is greatly to our advantage that we can react to new projects and offers quickly and effectively. We want to generate innovative ideas from each part of the business, foster our new independence of spirit and encourage involvement from everyone.
