Welcome to Orange Pip Books, an inclusive imprint proudly nestled within the esteemed MX Publishing family. At Orange Pip, we embark on a literary journey unlike any other, specializing in the quirky, inclusive, and diverse narratives that breathe new life into the Holmes universe.
 

Diversity isn't just a buzzword for us; it's the heartbeat of our mission. We believe in the power of storytelling to bridge gaps, dismantle barriers, and celebrate the beautifully varied tapestry of human experiences. That's why Orange Pip Books was founded—to ensure that voices often marginalized or overlooked have a vibrant platform to shine within the world of Holmes and Watson.
 

We're all about filling our shelves with stories that celebrate diversity and embrace the full spectrum of human experiences. From LGBTQIA+ characters to exploring neurodiversity and championing those with disabilities, we're here to amplify voices that often go unheard. But that's not all—we also love adding a dash of quirkiness with our non-fiction books. Each narrative is a testament to the richness of the human experience, inviting readers to immerse themselves in worlds where everyone's story is not only heard but celebrated.

We understand the transformative impact of representation, especially for young readers navigating their identities and place in the world, and whilst we primarily cater to the YA audience, our doors are wide open to readers of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you're a seasoned Sherlockian or just embarking on your first adventure with Holmes and Watson, there's a place for you at Orange Pip Books.

Join us as we embark on a literary odyssey that celebrates the beauty of differences, challenges norms, and invites everyone to be part of the narrative. At Orange Pip Books, diversity isn't an afterthought; it's the heart of everything we do.
