About BookMachine Creative Agency

BookMachine is a growing digital agency focused exclusively on book publishing and education brands. Our mission is to collaborate with the best trade and education publishers in the business to help them get more books (and products) to more people.

We offer our clients digital and social media marketing, project management, product management, event management and programming, marketing copywriting and copyediting services. We also build our own in-house projects, such as the BookMachine Community. 

We have a dedicated, in-house team, supported by a larger team of expert freelancers. We are a proudly remote-first company, with our London Hub office at the heart of Greenwich Peninsula’s new Design District.

Everyone we work with is passionate about publishing and education and we work together to deliver great content, events and campaigns for our clients.
