“What is a book but a letter from a writer to a reader?” That’s the philosophy behind EnvelopeBooks, a generalist micro-publisher—and postal service of the mind.

Founded by Stephen Games in London in 2020, EnvelopeBooks is a spin-off from the UK’s largest books magazine, Booklaunch, and the imprint aims to select manuscripts from every corner of the mental map, brands them with their stunning, trademark envelope covers, and then gets them directly in the hands of eager readers. Set up to help authors who have struggled to navigate the obstacles thrown up by mainstream publishers and agents, EnvelopeBooks is flexible and open to all fiction and non-fiction submissions, responds to all enquiries within 24 hours, and works conscientiously with authors to ensure their talent shines through the finished work.

Stephen Games came to publishing after a lifetime reflecting on the creative arts. A former architecture correspondent for The Guardian, documentary maker for the BBC and opinion writer for the Los Angeles Times, he studied Graphic Design and then Architecture and has taught as an adjunct for Temple University, Boston University, and the University of Kent. He has a PhD from Cambridge University for research into the work of the celebrated German architectural historian Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, about whom he has published four books, and has produced another four books on the writings of the conservation campaigner and UK poet laureate, Sir John Betjeman.
