Egmont Books’ mission is to develop, refine and publish literary fiction and non-fiction that entertain, inform and enrich readers. The division couples editorial know-how with expertise in target groups and sales channels. The double strength of deep roots in the Scandinavian publishing world and a broad publishing spectrum attracts authors and other creative minds to submit ideas and manuscripts to Egmont Books.
Egmont Books comprises Egmont’s publishing company Aschehoug and schoolbook publishers Alinea and Forlag Malling Beck in Denmark, Damm in Norway and Richters in Sweden, plus a series of imprint publishers. The division sold in excess of 14 million books in 2004.
