Neem Tree Press

Neem Tree Press is a vibrant, independent publishing house producing books that change and broaden perspectives. Dedicated to the enthusiastic discovery of both British and international literature, we are truly global in scope, with titles under contract from across the world. We are the recent recipients of a prestigious English PEN grant, a literary award for an upcoming work in translation, and our books have been featured in Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, on BBC Radio, and at the Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City.

Our Seven Seas collection focuses on Middle Grade and Young Adult fiction that showcases diverse cultures and protagonists. Seven Seas’ titles invoke a sense of adventure and exploration with stories grounded in art, culture and history from all over the world.

The neem, declared by the United Nations as the ‘tree for the 21st century’ is a hardy, drought resistant tree that thrives in poor soil conditions and has many medicinal properties. It provides generous shade and oxygen to those who rest under it, as well as producing pesticides to keep plants healthy in its vicinity. We hope to follow in the footsteps of our namesake and thrive under difficult market conditions, providing much food for thought through our adult and children’s lists.
