About
Founded in 2011 by best-selling author William Bernhardt, Babylon Books is now in the hands of the next generation of Bernhardts. Raised with a passion for the written word and creativity, they carry the vision forward to continue as an independent, family-owned publishing company dedicated to bringing exceptional books and talented authors to readers.
Our catalog includes bestselling and award-winning authors across a growing collection of titles, united by one simple standard: we publish books we believe deserve to be read.
Thoughtfully Curated
Being independent allows us to be selective.
At Babylon Books, we focus on quality over quantity, working with accomplished writers and compelling books that stand apart. Our authors include newcomers and established voices, award winners, and bestsellers whose work has earned recognition from readers and the literary community alike.
We believe a publisher’s name should mean something. For us, it represents a commitment to the books we publish and the authors behind them.
