Inspired by a successful publishing project with Arts Council England, New Generation Publishing was created in 2009 as part of Legend Press, an independent book publisher founded by Tom Chalmers, before being spun off into its own company in 2011.
Always looking for new opportunities that will support writers, NGP has launched many initiatives over the last decade, including the Self-Publishing Summit, an annual event held in London, plus partnerships with independent bookshops, a Self-Published Book of the Month feature with The Guardian newspaper and numerous services unique to NGP.
NGP continued to grow its print and distribution network, including with new partners in the UK, US, India, China and the Middle-East. And last year, it launched a distribution service through leading book distributor, Macmillan Distribution.
The number of books published has also continued to grow. NGP has now published over 7,500 books in multiple formats, such as paperback, hardback, ebook and audio.
