Independent Publisher of the Year!

We were crowned Independent Publisher of the Year at The British Book Awards 2025! 

The judges said:

Sales soared by a third in 2024, with domestic growth coming from a beautifully produced boutique list that is attracting increasingly starry names including Jamie Oliver and Robert Macfarlane. Work overseas was at least as impressive, through both foreign rights and a new distribution list in the US that has doubled North American sales. “Joy and possibility have infused the process of publishing with Magic Cat,” said one of its authors. Judges were equally impressed: “It’s a dizzying speed of growth… Magic Cat’s ambition and ethos are amazing.”
