Mission statement- Holland Park Press Ltd publishes literary fiction and poetry and places special emphasis on bringing the work of Dutch authors to the English language market.

 

We work in partnership with our authors. We use the latest technology and the internet to power our innovative publishing process and to encourage the interaction between authors and readers.

 

We nurture new talent through our creative writing courses and workshops which are written and run by published authors.

Holland Park Press Ltd was founded in April 2009 by Bernadette Jansen op de Haar and is privately owned.

After acting for over ten years as first reader and advisor to her brother the acclaimed Dutch poet, novelist and columnist Arnold in her spare time, Bernadette realized that a gap had opened up in the publishing market.

These days' major publishers are concentrating on marketing bestsellers and in general scaling down the number of new authors they publish. It has therefore become very difficult for new and even published authors to find new publishing deals.

The emergence of new print technologies and the interactive web environment enables the innovation of the publishing process and bring books to the readers rather than relying on readers finding books.

Moreover geographical boundaries do not exist in the web world so we are taking full advantage and we market our books around the world.
