Ouen Press is an independent publisher of contemporary fiction, travel literature and edgy biography.
Ouen Press published its first book in 2012. ‘I have always loved literature and travel, so in 2010 when I sold my practice – oh yes, I forgot to mention I trained as a chartered accountant – I had the opportunity to move into something that could be a viable business but also give me a great deal of personal satisfaction,’ said publisher Paula Comley. ‘I wanted to develop the opportunity to be more creative. The publishing world was going through a time of immense change, I was able to come into this world with a completely open mind, looking to the future not back into the past. I cannot say it has been easy, a lot of learning and hitting the ground running. But, last week we signed an author who approached us with a very exciting biography, and another of our titles is being considered for the big screen.’
