Serpent's Tail, founded by Pete Ayrton in 1986, is a pioneering brand that introduced British readers to risk-taking world literature that was previously undiscovered in the UK. Known for their diverse range of voices and fearlessness, Serpent's Tail has published renowned writers of color from all over the world, including Langston Hughes, Ernest J. Gaines, Nella Larsen, Walter Mosley, Alain Mabanckou, and Lola Shoneyin.
They have also been a platform for LGBTQ+ authors such as Virginie Despentes, Jayne County, and Neil Bartlett. Over the years, Serpent's Tail has launched the careers of major authors like David Peace, Michel Houellebecq, and Colm Tóibín. As an imprint of Profile Books since 2007, Serpent's Tail continues to celebrate originality by publishing books that challenge, entertain, and provoke change.
Their titles have been shortlisted for prestigious literary awards like the Booker Prize, Nobel Prize, and Orange Prize. With a commitment to finding and championing talented writers who break the mold, Serpent's Tail offers unique and thought-provoking reads that encourage readers to think and live differently
