Biteback Publishing is a British publisher based in Hull concentrating mainly on political titles. It was incorporated, as a private limited company with share capital, in 2009.[2] It was jointly owned by its managing director Iain Dale[3] and by Michael Ashcroft's Political Holdings Ltd,[4][2] until 2018 when Dale stepped down to focus on his television and radio work.[5] Biteback Publishing has published several books by Ashcroft including Call Me Dave, his controversial 2015 biography of David Cameron.[6]
Other titles include Out in the Army: My Life as a Gay Soldier (2013) by James Wharton,[7] The Left's Jewish Problem (2016) by Dave Rich, and Post-Truth: How Bullshit Conquered the World (2017) by investigative journalist James Ball.[8]
As of 2014 around 20% of the company's sales are ebooks.[9]
