Wiley Books

Wiley & Sons Inc. also popular as Wiley Books is an American multinational publishing company founded in 1807 that focuses on academic publishing and instructional materials. The company also produces books, journals, and encyclopaedias, in print and digital, as well as online products and services, training materials, and educational materials for undergraduate, graduate, and continuing academic papers.

The company was first established in 1807 when Charles Wiley opened a print shop in Manhattan. The company was the publisher of 19th century American literary figures like James Fenimore Cooper, Washington Irving, Herman Melville, and Edgar Allan Poe, as well as of legal, religious, and other non-fiction titles. The firm however only took its current name in 1865 and Wiley & Sons Inc. eventually shifted its publishing focus to scientific, technical, and engineering subject areas, abandoning its literary interests.

Through the 20th century, the company expanded its publishing activities to the sciences, and higher education and managed to acquire several other academic publication houses across the world. More recently in 2021, Wiley acquired Hindawi and J&J Editorial. Wiley & Sons Inc. marked its bicentennial in 2007. In conjunction with the anniversary, the company published Knowledge for Generations: Wiley and the Global Publishing Industry, 1807-2007, depicting Wiley's role in the evolution of publishing against a social, cultural, and economic backdrop. Whilst academic books are their niche, Wiley Books also have some incredible educational and self help titles that we believe can help teens and parents navigate life. 

One of the many interesting and diverse titles from the Wiley publication house that teens will love is, Diary of a Brilliant Kid : Top Secret Guide to Awesomeness.
