DEKEL PUBLISHING GROUP: A BRIEF PROFILE
Dekel Publishing House was established in 1975, initially as an academic publisher for university students, but it quickly expanded to include more popular genres under its imprint Tamar Books.
Within a few years, Dekel became one of Israel’s leading publishing houses with both fiction, such as novels and thrillers, and nonfiction titles, mainly related to hobbies, cooking, and various sports and leisure activities.
In the nineties, Dekel first entered the international publishing scene, taking part in most of the Frankfurt Book Fairs and the London Book Fairs, as well as many Book Expo America, the Salon du Livre in Paris, and also the Beijing Book Fair.
Dekel maintains friendly collaboration with many overseas publishers in various languages to whom it licenses their own language rights or co-publishing agreements. It also publishes both digital and print titles via its American imprint in Monterey, California, and its German imprint in Frankfurt.
Dekel’s bestselling Krav Maga series, which focuses on the original Israeli renowned self-defense system, has been translated and published in many languages, most with successive reprints, including Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. Recently, Dekel has developed titles in the high-tech and start-up domain, including fiction & nonfiction.
Despite its dynamic activity, Dekel is a family-owned company managed by father and son Zvi and Dory Morik. Their company often proves itself to be a pioneer in the international publishing industry in promoting new and intriguing themes.
