CWMK Publishing is a small, independent press based in the United Kingdom.

We publish true stories and clear explanations - the hauntings and legends that local people still swap over a pint, guides to the places most visitors pass straight through, and plain-English books on the ideas changing the world.

The press was founded in 2023 with a short list of four titles and one writer, and folk history is still at its heart: ghost stories gathered place by place, first-hand accounts from people whose work keeps them up at night, the ghosts of war, and the myths and legends of the places people go on holiday.

Three years on, the catalogue runs to one hundred and two books in eight series by five authors, and the list has grown in new directions. Our Tourist Guides make the case for the towns and cities that rarely make the brochures. Our Science and Technology books, written by a former teacher, explain artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cryptocurrency and the physics of the seemingly impossible without assuming a degree. And Strange Tales collects the quirky, curious stories people tell when their job takes an odd turn.

Whatever the subject, we are interested in the same thing: the true account, told plainly, by someone who has done the work. Our books are available worldwide on Amazon, as Kindle eBooks, with selected titles also in paperback. We are not, and do not plan to become, a large press.
