Henry Holt and Co.

For over 150 years, Henry Holt has published a wide range of books, including works of history, fiction, science and nature, journalism, essays, and poetry. Our authors, ranging from Robert Frost and Toni Morrison to Edward Snowden and Neil deGrasse Tyson, have won numerous prizes and awards, including Nobel Prizes, Pulitzer Prizes, National Book Awards and National Book Critics Circle Awards.

As a close-knit team of editors, publicists, marketers and designers working within a major commercial publishing house, we are able to operate as a dynamic boutique publisher while benefiting from the sales, distribution and corporate marketing resources of a large company.

We publish a curated list of serious, idea-driven non-fiction and literary and upmarket commercial fiction from a diverse community of authors, thus continuing Holt’s long tradition while translating it for the twenty-first century. Our curiosity and commitment to publishing ambitious books that engage with our world, tell riveting and inspiring stories, and galvanise readers to see and think in new ways unifies and underpins this list.

In addition to the Holt imprint, the company publishes books under the Metropolitan Books imprint.
