Fantastic Books Publishing

Publisher info

Hello and thanks for checking us out.

Here at Fantastic Books Publishing we believe in transparency, fairness, honesty and philanthropy. These are the principles that guide our business.

I'm Daniel, FBP's CEO, and I live in East Yorkshire in a small farmhouse in the middle of nowhere with my wife Gabi. We enjoy cooking, walking the dog, reading, writing and wrestling with home made recipes from days gone by.

My main passion is astronomy which luckily doesn't encroach on my publishing time.

My wife's main passion is photography.

Together we run Fantastic Books Publishing, an independent publishing house based in East Yorkshire.
