Welcome to Big Thinking Publishing!

We are a small, independent publishing house based in the North of England, run by writers just like you.

You can find all our current and upcoming books on our Online Bookshop.

Our Ethos

Too many great writers languish in the void of the Amazon algorithm. We want to find, publish, and share these wonderful stories with as many people as possible!

With our small, enthusiastic team, and a whole bunch of incredible freelancers, we work with authors to get their books into the world. We don’t take any payments from authors, and instead opt for a more Traditional Publishing route.

We welcome authors from diverse backgrounds, authors of colour, differently abled authors, and LGBT+ to submit work to Big Thinking Publishing. We want to share your stories and promote diverse voices.

Check out our submissions page and sign up to our newsletter, Big Inking, for the latest updates from the team. You can also email us at admin@bigthinkingpublishing.com.

Meet the Team!

Kate Simkins (she/her)

Founder & Company Director

Writer, poet, author, songwriter… I’ve loved anything involving creativity since I was able to hold a pen. Let’s make some books!

Tommye Rozee (they/them)

Head of Marketing & PR

Book-obsessed and “spends too much time on social media” – I love coming up with fun ways of getting books into readers’ hands. When I’m not posting on Threads, I spend all my free time with my two boys or reading the biggest fantasy book I can get my hands on.

Ruby Henderson (she/her)

Marketing Associate

All about championing people and creativity! Interiors fanatic; fun-loving mother; poetry lover. Nothing is impossible when imagination leads the way.
