Chiselbury Publishing

Chiselbury Publishing was founded by Stuart Leasor as James Leasor Publishing in 2011 to make the works of his father, James Leasor, available to new and old readers. James Leasor had been one of the bestselling and most prolific British authors of the second half of the 20th Century, writing over 50 books ranging from thrillers and historical novels to histories and biographies. However none were available as ebooks and the few in print had legacy contracts with publishers who had little interest in them. We were then approached by leading journalist Dominic Midgley to see if we could make the bestselling biographies that he had written with Chris Hutchins on Roman Abramovich and Sir James Goldsmith available as well. We have since been approached by other authors wanting us to publish new and previously published works and so we have rebranded as Chiselbury to reflect our new profile. Since our rebrand in 2021 we have added a growing number of both new and previously published authors to the line up. We currently have books by more than 30 different authors in print or nearing publication. Chiselbury Publishing is a wholly owned subsidiary of Woodstock Leasor Limited.
