About the press

TCK Publishing is an independent publishing house founded in 2012 by Tom Corson-Knowles, initially focused on business and self-help titles before expanding into fiction and general nonfiction. The press operates with a dual identity: as a traditional publisher offering advances and royalties to selected authors, and as a resource hub providing guidance on writing, marketing, and self-publishing. Its core mission is to bridge the gap between traditional and independent publishing by offering transparent terms and practical support to authors at various stages of their careers.

Publishing focus

TCK Publishing publishes a wide range of nonfiction and are currently accepting book proposals. They do not publish poetry or children’s picture books.
