Black Inc. provides its authors with skilled and carefully tailored editing, packaging and promotion, and draws on the distribution muscle of United Book Distributors (Penguin Random House), Australia’s biggest and most effective printed book distributor, to maximise sales.

We sell rights to overseas publishers and audio and film producers, and have a thriving list of books licensed from other territories. We are renowned for our high-impact media and marketing campaigns and have a powerful digital platform.
