DUCKWORTH prizes great storytelling in all forms. We publish accessible, stimulating and intellectually curious works of non-fiction, including biography, memoir, science, psychology and history, as well as the most compelling historical and literary fiction.
Founded in 1898, Duckworth’s heritage includes legendary authors such as D. H. Lawrence, Hilaire Belloc, Evelyn Waugh and Beryl Bainbridge. Moving with the times, among our critically acclaimed authors of recent years are Julia Child, Yu Hua, Ruth Pavey, Ray Kurzweil and Julia Parry.
