The company was founded in 1998 and publishes fiction and non-fiction adapted to different reading ages for reluctant, under-confident and dyslexic children and teens. The books are printed on cream paper to reduce glare and language-edited to increase readability. The text is a specially-adapted dyslexia-friendly font, with a considered layout and numerous chapter breaks.[2]
Barrington Stoke was awarded Publisher of the Year in 2007 by the Independent Publisher’s Guild.[3] In 2020, Barrington Stoke had its first CILIP Carnegie Medal winner with Lark by Anthony McGowan.[4]
