Pan Macmillan We publish a broad and vibrant range of books for audiences of all ages. G. Wells. B. P. Snow and Rumer Godden.

Macmillan was founded in 1843 by Daniel and Alexander Macmillan, two brothers from the Scottish Isle of Arran. Daniel was the business brain, while Alexander laid the literary foundations, publishing such great authors as Charles Kingsley, Thomas Hughes, Lewis Carroll, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Henry James, Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling and H. As the company evolved, the Macmillan family's vision continued to inspire the publishing of major writers including W. Yeats, Sean O'Casey, John Maynard Keynes, Charles Morgan, Hugh Walpole, Margaret Mitchell, C. The brothers' publishing talents were not confined to literature. Their vision led to the creation of enduring copyrights such as Nature (1869), the renowned Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (1877) and Palgrave's Dictionary of Political Economy (1899). An ambitious expansion programme was initiated in the late 1960s when Harold Macmillan retired from politics after his term as prime minister and became chairman of the company. Serious academic, educational and literary publishing was followed by significant growth in reference programmes and college textbooks as well as educational and scientific journals. New international opportunities were grasped and publishing operations were set up in Japan, Mexico and the emerging markets of Africa and Asia. Nowadays Macmillan is one of the largest and best-known international publishers in the world, operating in over 70 countries.

A STORY OF HOPE AND HUMANITY

“This is the story of the worst day of my life. The worst of many people’s lives. One of the worst days in the life of this country. But it is also, and this is not something I anticipated when I sat down to begin telling it, a story of hope. My adopted country of Australia taught me that our kindness and common humanity will rise to meet, and defeat, evil when it emerges. This, above all, is what I hope to share with my story.” - Ahmed Al Ahmed

Light Will Win will be published on 12 November 2026 in the UK in trade paperback, ebook and audio.
