Austin Macauley Publishers Limited is a British vanity press with offices in London, New York and Sharjah.
The company was founded in 2006 and publishes fiction and non-fiction books in English and Arabic languages.
According to Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFFWA) it is the vanity press the organization receives the largest number of complaints about.
[17] Austin Macauley was included in SFFWA's 'Thumbs Down' Publishers List, which, according to the association, contains the companies "about which [they] have received the largest number of serious complaints".
[18] In 2019, the Writer Beware blog (sponsored by SFFWA) reported that Austin Macauley was the vanity publisher which was the subject of the "most reports and questions", noting that the vast majority of deals involve the authors paying the company to have their book published, while the occasional "fee-free" contract offered to authors is "no bargain".
