Century is an imprint of the Publishing House CornerStone

Cornerstone publishes books that connect with people. We love discovering new voices, unearthing stories and taking them to new audiences. When a book starts a conversation or tops the charts, we get excited because it means people out there are getting pleasure from what we do.

For us, it’s about using our enthusiasm and expertise to bring great storytelling on all kinds of subjects to as many people as possible.

No matter what we’re publishing - a new talent, a big brand name or a backlist gem - we aim to create books that matter to people.

Century is one of the most successful and well-regarded commercial imprints in the UK. 

On the fiction side, we publish some of the most successful brand authors in the UK.

We’re honoured to include James Patterson, Harlan Coben, Anthony Horowitz, Lisa Jewell, Ernest Cline, Diana Gabaldon, Katie Fforde, Lisa Gardner and Tony Parsons on our list. 

Century, also, publishes a wide range of bestselling non-fiction, from books by national treasures such as Sir David Jason, astronaut Tim Peake, Gareth Southgate, Holly Willoughby, Peter Kay and Dawn French; to books by some of the world’s greatest writers, artists and musicians: Banksy, Tina Brown, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Prince, Will Smith, Rod Stewart and Tina Turner.
