Effington Books are intentionally small to offer a more intimate, focused reading experience that brings readers closer to the text. We believe simplicity is the most effective way to communicate big ideas.
Format and Identity
By publishing only pocket books (10.8 x 17.45 cm), Effington Books defines itself as a publisher that:
- Prioritizes the intimacy of reading over aesthetics;
- Delivers content that is portable and easy to carry, yet rich in meaningful ideas;
- Embraces a minimalist aesthetic that highlights writing as an intellectual medium, valued for substance rather than prestige.
This small format is more than a size choice; it is a visual statement from Effington Books that beauty is not limited to grand forms and intellectual value can exist in simplicity.
Typically, 1 A4 page (double-spaced, 12 pt) translates to 2.2–2.8 pocket book pages. If the manuscript is 200 A4 pages, this book will likely be around 480–520 pages in a pocket size.
Whether you are an author, partner, or distributor, Effington Books welcomes thoughtful conversations about manuscripts, publishing, and collaboration.
