Welcome to the Virgin Books website!
Our Books
Our list is a diverse and far-reaching one. Primarily a non-fiction house, we publish across a broad range of subjects from popular science, humour and biography to health and lifestyle, TV tie-ins, sport and reference. We also publish a small dark-fiction list and series fiction. Our aim is to publish innovative, high-quality and commercial titles that make a difference. We also have a strong and exciting backlist containing names such as Charles Bukowski and Spike Milligan.
Our History
Virgin Books first started up in 1979 as a rock music publisher, linked to Virgin Records, and we have been expanding our book publishing ever since.
In March 2007, Random House Group became a 90% majority stakeholder in the company.
Our Authors
Our authors are hugely important to us. From celebrities and TV stars such as Myleene Klass, Carol Vorderman, Lorraine Kelly, Kelly Holmes and Anthea Turner to bestselling authors such as Augusten Burroughs, Alan Weisman and Rick Gallop to launching exciting, new upcoming writers onto the scene, all our authors are the best in their fields.
