Yellow Teapot Books was established by Rosanne Dingli in 2012 after her publisher, BeWriteBooks, announced the winding down of its operations and eventual closure in early 2013. With her publishing rights restored Dingli initially reproduced her then current book, The Day of the Bird (2012) through Amazon's online self-publishing platform. In September that same year The Day of the Bird became the first book to be released under the Yellow Teapot imprint.
Essentially a boutique publishing house, Yellow Teapot Books focuses on fiction for an international audience of readers interested in 'historical, cultural, contemporary fiction from inventive minds.' Among the select group of authors published by Yellow Teapot Books are Margaret Sutherland, Stephen Crabbe, Antonio Casella, and Dale Harcombe.
