David Fickling Books is an independent publishing brand located in Oxford, UK. We have a rich history, with nearly twelve years of experience as an imprint within Scholastic and Random House. In 2013, we established ourselves as an independent business and joined forces with The Phoenix, a popular children's comic, to form DFB Storyhouse.

We continue to publish a diverse range of books in the same manner as before, but with even greater enthusiasm and dedication. Our transition to independence has allowed us to operate with freedom and flexibility. We follow our instincts and make decisions quickly, enabling us to maintain close relationships with our authors and stay in tune with the ever-changing market and technology.

We pay meticulous attention to the sales and distribution of each book we publish, ensuring they reach as many readers as possible in compelling formats. As a member of the Independent Alliance, an alliance of UK publishers and their international partners, we uphold a shared commitment to editorial excellence, innovative marketing strategies, and commercial success. Located at 31 Beaumont Street in Oxford, we invite you to explore our website to learn more about our books, authors, and the Independent Alliance
