A story worth sharing

We're a truly independent publisher, started by a group of friends who met at university, connected by a shared love of ideas.

The sense of curiosity and conversation that develops when you're genuinely excited about something you've discovered is at the heart of everything we do.

Platonic Press is a UK independent publisher turning profound ideas into beautifully made, readable books. We pair lucid writing with intimate access to leading thinkers, creating clothbound volumes that invite conversation as much as they reward reflection. For retailers: cross-category appeal, strong display presence, and full partner support—with flexible wholesale terms and stock-free dropshipping.
