Since our formation in 1992, with the releaase of Victor Headley's 'Yardie', The X Press has grown into Europe's largest publisher of Black interest books. In the next few years we intend to become not only Europe's biggest, but the world's number one black book publisher.

The number of books published by The X Press grows every year. Our range of imprints include: Black Classics, Nia and 20/20. As we enter a new millenium, the look of The X Press is changing. While we continue to publish popular, contemporary fiction, the range of our titles will become more diverse to reflect changes in society. The X Press led the black writng revolution that started in1992. Now we aim to take black writing into another era.
