We are a company based in Luton, Bedfordshire in the UK but we trade and publish our books, games, audio and films all over the world. We were formed in the year 2000 and have been a leading UK independent digital media publisher since then. We are privately owned and most of the staff members have worked within AUK for many years so you will always have a trusted, proven, knowledgeable contact within the company to work with you, guide you, and help you achieve your goals.
Whether you are an individual author with one title, or a major publisher with many titles, or a creator or owner of games, audio or film, we provide everything you need to get your media out there and for sale globally.

AUK itself no longer generally deals directly with new first time authors, only authors already working or known to us. Our separate standalone sister company Arthur H Stockwell does however and has been doing to for over 125 years! A H Stockwell is what we call an artesian book publisher, not a vanity publisher, providing a high quality personalised author publishing service.
We do offer copy editing as an additional service. This includes spelling, punctuation, grammar, syntax etc… as well as highlighting any problem areas. Quotes are provided on a per-book basis so please drop us an email for further information.
