Inspired by a successful publishing project with Arts Council England, New Generation Publishing was created in 2009 as part of Legend Press, an independent book publisher founded by Tom Chalmers. After founding the business, Tom was shortlisted for the Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Young Publishing Entrepreneur of the Year and Enterprising Young Brit Awards.
NGP was then spun off into its own company in 2011 as part of the Legend Times Group with Daniel Cooke joining as a shareholder and Managing Director. With many years working in self-publishing, Daniel brought a huge amount of experience into the business as it continued to quickly grow.
Over the following years, the team expanded further with David Walshaw joining as a Publishing Consultant to look after the increasing number of aspiring authors with unique stories.
Always looking for new opportunities that will support writers, NGP has launched many initiatives over the last decade, including the Self-Publishing Summit, an annual event held in London, plus partnerships with independent bookshops, a Self-Published Book of the Month feature with The Guardian newspaper and numerous services unique to NGP.
NGP continued to grow its print and distribution network, including with new partners in the UK, US, India, China and the Middle-East. And this year, it launched a distribution service through leading publisher and distributor, Macmillan.
The number of books published has also continued to grow. As of 2023, NGP has now published over 7,000 books in multiple formats, such as paperback, hardback, ebook and audio.
So, as NGP approaches its 15th Birthday in 2024, it is already working on its next set of innovative and unique services as part of its mission to provide publishing options and worldwide book sales for all authors.
