Named Small Press of the Year 2020 by the British Book Awards, we are the team behind the unprecedented #TwentyIn2020 publishing initiative for Black British writing.
In 2021, Jacaranda formed a historic partnership with Hachette UK, expanding our sales and distribution to support the flourishing global market for readers of books by diverse voices.
Our ethos is simple — we are committed to publishing ground-breaking writing with a dedication to creating space on the bookshelf for diverse ideas and writers.
