We are a media company born in the digital era, designed from scratch to understand and serve readers who expect more.
There is a new reader. Someone who grew up swiping, not turning pages. Someone who finishes a book on their e-reader at midnight and by morning wants the podcast, the series, the community, the next chapter in whatever form it takes. This reader is more demanding, more informed and more passionate than any generation before. And the traditional publishing industry is not built to serve them.
Batty Media exists to change that. We are a media company born in the digital era, designed from scratch to understand and serve readers who expect more. More formats. More depth. More connection. More ways to live inside the stories they love.
Our approach is simple but radical: we start with the reader and work backwards. We use technology — data, artificial intelligence, digital-first distribution — not as a gimmick, but as the backbone of everything we do. Technology tells us what readers are searching for, how they consume, when they engage and what they want next. It allows us to find audiences that legacy publishers overlook, to reach niches with precision and to deliver content in the formats readers actually use.
Every title we publish is conceived as a living experience. A book is a beginning — the seed of something that can grow into an audiobook, a digital series, a visual adaptation, a community, a world. We design content to transmute: to move fluidly from text to audio, from screen to screen, from solitary reading to shared experience. Because that is what today's reader expects, and that is where the future of media lives.
Batty Media is the parent company behind a growing constellation of editorial brands, each one built to serve a specific audience in a specific market with surgical precision. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all publishing. We believe in imprints with soul — brands that readers trust because they speak their language, understand their world and consistently deliver what they crave.
We are not here to save publishing.
We are here to build what comes next.
Our Values
Every decision begins and ends with the reader. Not the market. Not the algorithm. The human being who is searching for meaning, escape, knowledge or belonging through stories.
A story is not a book. A story is a world — and that world deserves to be explored across every format the reader inhabits. We design from day one for the journey from page to screen.
The safe play in a disrupted industry is the most dangerous strategy. We take risks on voices, formats and ideas that others won't touch — because that is where the readers the market ignores are waiting.
We treat technology the way great editors treat language — as a tool to be mastered in service of something human. Data, AI and digital infrastructure are not shortcuts. They are how we listen at scale.
Reader data is a privilege, not a commodity. We use insights to understand and serve, never to exploit attention or manipulate behaviour. Trust is the foundation of every reader relationship.
Technology will not destroy publishing. It will destroy those who forgot that publishing was never about printing — it was about reaching readers.
