Oliver Heber Books started with a simple, stubborn idea: authors and backlists matter.
Over a decade ago, while the publishing world focused on the next big release, we went the other direction. We built a home for books that deserved better than six weeks on a shelf. What began as a small act of advocacy — championing authors and the work they’d already done — has grown into a powerhouse community of some of the most creative voices in the business.
OHB was built on founder Tanya Anne Crosby’s decades of experience — as a bestselling author, as a writer and marketer for one of the internet’s earliest and most iconic brands, and as the editorial force behind a stable of five magazines. But more than any résumé line, what shaped OHB is this: Tanya is an author first. She built the publishing company she always wished she’d had — one where the things she wanted for her own career became the standard for every author on the roster. Editorial collaboration. Creative control. Flexibility. Speed to market. Monthly royalties at some of the highest in the industry. A genuine voice in covers, schedules, and direction.
Because no two publishing journeys look the same, everything we do is tailored to the individual author. We listen. We collaborate. We’re always looking to innovate — whether that means launching Kickstarter campaigns for special editions or pursuing subrights aggressively to get our authors’ work in front of more readers — and more revenue streams.
Publishing has changed since we started, and so have we — but the thing that matters most hasn’t changed. We believe in authors, not just books. And we support our authors’ journeys the way we’d want ours supported.
In 2023, we launched Primera, our newest imprint and a fresh chapter for OHB. Primera welcomes submissions from both agented and non-agented authors. We’d love to hear from you.
