Welcome!

Welcome to Taller Books – the home of innovative and original Young Adult fiction.


We’re thrilled that Angels, our new UKYA novel, is a finalist in the 2023 Wishing Shelf Book Awards and a semi-finalist in the Book Bloggers’ Novel of the Year Award 2024! It’s the LGBTQ+ YA story you’ve been waiting for: friendship, identity, attraction, disasters … and finding your wings.

Looking for an award-winning dystopia? Prefer die-for-each-other friendships to romance? Like your YA with a relevant political twist? The Battle Ground Series is a friendship-based survival story with a strong female lead, a strong female antagonist, and an all-too-real near-future setting.

Covers of books 1-7 of the Battle Ground Series – YA Dystopia from Taller Books.

We are delighted that Battle Ground (Book One of the Battle Ground Series) received a Bronze Medal in the 2021 Readers’ Favorite Book Awards, another Bronze Medal in the 2019 Wishing Shelf Book Awards, and a Five-Star Seal from the Readers’ Favorite book review site!


At Taller Books, we’re passionate about Young Adult fiction. We don’t just publish YA – we read, review, and discuss fiction for young adults. We follow our favourite authors, and we love discovering new books and new voices. We also offer school visits, and professional editing services specifically for indie authors.

We’d love to keep you up to date with our news, reviews and announcements – and to send you a free novella (and a bonus short story) as an introduction to the Battle Ground series!
