Jessica Kingsley Publishers,

For more than 30 years, JKP has been a publisher at the forefront of social change. Our mission is to empower individuals to change society through information and knowledge. We are community-focused and believe in giving people the platform to share their experiences. We publish non-fiction books and resources for professionals, practitioners and the general reader. Our commitment to promoting positive perspectives on difference has established us as a leading voice in several fields; including autism and neurodiversity, arts therapies, social work, mental health and counselling, gender diversity, adoption and fostering, healthcare, and inclusive teaching and learning resources. We also publish children’s books that help young readers to understand big feelings or difficult situations. JKP was founded in 1987 by Jessica Kingsley. In 2004, we opened our Philadelphia office, and in 2006 we launched the Singing Dragon imprint, which specialises in Chinese medicine and complementary therapies. We joined the Hachette Group in 2017, as a division of John Murray Press. In 2020 and 2022, we won The British Book Award for Academic, Educational and Professional Publisher of the Year. In 2022, we acquired Handspring, a publisher specialising in professional books which serve as a springboard for learning about bodywork and movement. Handspring Publishing operates under Singing Dragon, JKP’s imprint.
