FAQs

Who is Pinter & Martin?

Pinter & Martin is an independent publishing company based in the UK. Most of our books are distributed worldwide. Pinter & Martin was founded on May 9th, 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.

One of my favourite books is out of print, can I tell you about it?

Please do! If you know of any books that are out of print and you feel deserve to be republished please drop us a line using our contact page. We found two of our books this way.

Will you publish my book?

See the submissions page.

Will you produce my play/film?

No, sorry. We rarely produce plays and films, and then only from our own material.

How do I contact your authors?

Send us an email or letter and we will try and forward it to the author. It may take considerable time to get any response, if appropriate. Some of our authors don't do email.

Who designs your covers?

Our artwork designers include Bogus Machnik at Spiral Path Design, Anders Bundgaard at Klor, Blok Graphic, Thorsten Knaub and Andy Walker.

Do you offer any large quantity discounts?

Yes. Please see our bulk orders and trade enquiries pages.

You only have x number of books in stock, but I want more. Can you help?

The stock levels on the website reflect the number of books we have at our offices - in most cases we have many more in our warehouse. Contact us if you have larger orders.

What happened to Sprogcast?

Unfortunately, Sprogcast is no longer active. However, you can still find links to Spotify on the Sprogcast page so you can listen to the legacy episodes.
