Pinter & Martin Publishers

Specialties

Pinter & Martin is an independent publishing company based in London. Most of our books are distributed worldwide.

We publish authors who challenge the status quo. While we specialise in psychology and pregnancy, birth & parenting, we also publish other subjects, but only books which are very close to our hearts.

Pinter & Martin publishes around 15 – 20 books a year, so it’s always worth checking what’s new on our website.

History

Established in 1997.

Pinter & Martin was founded on May 9^th, 1997 by the writer and film-​maker Martin Wagner and childbirth educator Maria Pinter, when we realised that Stanley Milgram’s extraordinary book Obedience to Authority was out of print in the UK. Other milestones were the publication of Childbirth without Fear in 2004, which started our ever-​growing pregnancy, birth & parenting list, Irrationality in 2007, which was our first genuine bestseller, the publication of The Politics of Breastfeeding in 2009, followed by our first book for La Leche League International, The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding in 2010.
