Michael O'Mara Books is one of the last truly independent publishers in the UK. This small but noisy family publishing house was actually founded in the O'Mara family home in London in 1985. The firm's very first publication, Alastair Burnet's biography of the Queen Mother, topped the Sunday Times bestseller list in 1985. Now entering its twentieth year, O'Mara Books has established a reputation for bestselling biography (including Andrew Morton's Diana: Her True Story and Monica's Story), innovative humour (such as the million-selling Wan2TLK? and cheque book series), as well as highly commercial children's books.
