About Us

Informative, Practical and Enlightening

Longtail Publishing Limited was formed to explain, unravel and demystify - in plain English and with concision - complex areas of law, business, economics and finance.

Our flagship All You Need to Know Guides are the ideal introductions to a variety of real-life situations, whether you've just landed your first job in the City or are planning to become a solicitor, whether you're struggling to understand the relationship between your bank and ethics or wish to know the secrets behind commercial success.

All You need to know about the City - first published in June 2005 and now in its fourth incarnation - is well established among leading business and law firms as the essential guide to anyone starting any job in the City, and is a perfect example of what we do best.

Packed in between the covers is a wealth of knowledge and experience rendered in easily-digestible form, ideal for the graduate who wants to know more about what might await them, or the professional who wishes to understand the world they work in that bit better. Newly updated to include all you need to know about the credit crunch, it really is an indispensable guide.

Don't just take our word for it though - check out the press releases for each of our publications.

Longtail's founders bring a unique history of success at the top of their professions in journalism, marketing and publishing, and our authors are leaders in their respective fields. This ensures that the All You Need to Know Guides are penned by people who live what they write, people best placed to provide an insight into the workings of their worlds.

We are always happy to meet prospective authors who can bring similar experience in their respective fields, and we welcome opportunities to widen our range of titles.
