Now in its twenty-eighth year, independent publishing house Michael O’Mara Books has established a reputation for high-profile autobiographies and biographies (including ANYTHING GOES by John Barrowman, A F by Roy Hudd, MY WORD IS MY BOND AND BOND ON BOND by Sir Roger Moore, ALL BALLS AND GLITTER by Craig Revel Horwood, plus the upcoming TALES FROM THE DANCE FLOOR, and Andrew Morton’s DIANA: Her True Story, the second highest-selling book of the 1990s). A newly updated edition of DIANA: In Pursuit of Love by Andrew Morton will be published in September 2013 to coincide with the new biopic of her life. Our Autumn list also includes fascinating lifestyle memoirs such as THE CHEESE & I by Champion de France des Fromagers Matt Feroze, BOBBY ON THE BEAT by Bob Dixon and THE INN AT THE TOP by Neil Hanson.

 

We have also embraced the pop world, publishing bestselling biographies of Justin Bieber and boyband One Direction, as well as our hugely successful Dress Up One Direction and upcoming Colour In One Direction. Our list includes humour and non-fiction (such as the Sunday Times bestseller I BEFORE E (EXCEPT AFTER C) THE TIMEWASTER LETTERS and THE BOOK OF SENIOR MOMENTS), and fun and fantastic children’s books published under our Buster Books imprint, named after the O’Maras’ beloved Norwich terrier.

 

The nostalgic series started by I BEFORE E (EXCEPT AFTER C) now encompasses titles including the Sunday Times bestsellers I USED TO KNOW THAT and MY GRAMMAR AND I.  Over a million books have been sold across the series, which also includes titles for children such as THIRTY DAYS HAS SEPTEMBER. Ten new paperback editions for these top-selling titles give readers the chance to build up an attractive reference library on subjects including philosophy, history, language, classics, poetry and much more.
