THE STORY OF SPOUT BOOKS

SPOUT  is an Independent, Traditional as well as partially Hybrid book publisher. We are focused on stories even in nonfiction-writings.

Our passion for excellence and identity has driven us from the beginning, and continues to drive us into the future.

We are committed toward contributing more merit and meaning in this inexhaustible  book publishing industry, starting from pre-press, to post-press via brilliant production, in between.

We are bilingual, having production lines in two languages - English and বাংলা.

We are up and duff for Children's literature, literature for young adults, and for grown-up popular lists.

Spout prefers less connection with distributors, and more connection with standalone stores and actual readers.
