“At times, it seems like I have raised a very large family indeed – even if the great majority left home a long time ago.

Finding a new writer, and watch them finding their way as a wordsmith is always a quietly triumphant moment for me. To see them grow in confidence, and to see their work appreciated by others… that’s what it’s all about, really.”

— Liam Hayes, Founder, Hero Books

BUILDING A BOOK…

  • First exciting steps.

    Hero Books founder Liam Hayes has had a long and always eventful career in publishing. In the last 20 years, he has helped over 150 writers with so many different styles and interests take their first cautious, exciting steps and begin successful careers as journalists and authors.

  • Offering the very best.

    At Hero Books we outsource our work to a great number of the leading editors and designers in the publishing industry. That means that we are always positioned to offer each and every one of our writers the very best team to work on their manuscript and build a book of which they can be proud.

  • Heroes come in all forms.

    There are so many heroes living amongst us. Heroes who are still making a difference every week, and heroes who were once allowing whole communities walk taller in the distant past. All remain people who gave of themselves, raised spirits and hardly ever asked for anything in return. It's never too late to formally say thank you to these men and women.
