Publishing

Andrea Bibby designs, curates, and publishes distinctive books under the Urban Viking Imprint, blending creativity, culture, and commercial insight. Her publishing portfolio spans art, wellbeing, and lifestyle titles — from Flight by Paul Bloomer to Artist Sales Kit by Kevin DiBacco, which achieved a top five position in the AllAuthor.com Non-Fiction Cover Awards (2024). Several Urban Viking titles have gone on to become Ingram bestsellers, reflecting Andrea’s eye for both artistic integrity and market appeal.

Alongside publishing her own works — including The Art of Starting Again and Reiki in the Bath — Andrea continues to champion independent authors whose voices inspire, educate, and empower. The latest Urban Viking release, Flight by Paul Bloomer, launches at Shetland Museum and Archives to coincide with the opening of his major exhibition, which runs until January 2025. This powerful art book captures the spirit of Bloomer’s work and reflects Urban Viking’s ongoing commitment to celebrating creativity, resilience, and the meeting point between art and life.

Urban Viking Kids celebrates imagination, learning, and global collaboration. Created and curated by Andrea Bibby, the collection includes original titles such as Mother Moon and Nature’s Rainbow, which blend storytelling with mindfulness and wonder. Andrea also collaborates with international creatives on projects like Hippo D Hop with jazz composer Rich Pulin, The Mrs Tweesdale Collection with author Diane Mary Meyer, and the forthcoming Songs of the Sea with Senegalese musician, Aboulaye Samb. Each book brings together art, rhythm, and storytelling to inspire curiosity, connection, and joy in young readers.
