Milestone Press Competitors

DK is a global publisher of internationally bestselling authors and illustrators across fiction, non-fiction, adult and children’s publishing. We have been pioneering ways to bring knowledge and adventure to people around the world for over 50 years.

HarperCollins occupies a unique place in Australian and New Zealand publishing. In both nations, we are the oldest publisher and the most forward thinking in terms of our transition to the global digital world of today. Owned by News Corps, we published ABC Books, Head of Zeus and Harlequin books. Our imprints include Angus & Robertson, Fourth Estate, Harper Voyager and Avon Romance. Today HarperCollins produces print and e-books, generally simultaneously, and was one of the first Australian publishers to turn much of the deep backlist into e-books to broaden the life of a book. Our first app, Donna Hay’s what’s for dinner?, was launched in late 2013. Short-run digital printing and print on demand technology are used to keep books available in print, while the Harper 360 program exports print editions directly into the US and the UK.

Penguin Random House Australia is Australia’s leading book publisher, publishing fiction, non-fiction and children’s books for readers of all ages. We publish Australian and international authors, from beloved, bestselling and award-winning writers to exciting new voices. We celebrate writers, stories and ideas that entertain, educate and inspire. We are proud to publish books that matter, from future classics to cherished favourites. Alongside our exceptional international list, we champion Australian storytelling and are committed to discovering and supporting local authors and illustrators. Our dedication to publishing excellence saw Penguin Random House Australia named Publisher of the Year at the 2025 Australian Book Industry Awards, following five previous wins in the past six years. As part of Penguin Random House, the world’s largest trade book publisher, we bring global reach and opportunity to Australian publishing, backed by the knowledge, passion and expertise of our local teams in Sydney and Melbourne.
