PUBLISHERS

The history of Crown Culture Corporation dates back to February 22, 1954 when Mr Ping Shin-Tao started his business with Crown Magazine. With time, the Crown Culture Corporation has expanded with the establishment of imprints, including Crown Publishing Co. (fiction), Ping’s Publications (non-fiction), Paperback Publishing Co. (books for teenagers, including fiction and non-fiction), Ping’s Recordings, the Crown website, the Crown bookshop, and Dance Forum Taipei. The company has extended into the area of film, television, music, setting up gallery, theatre and dance spaces. In the last 20 years, Crown has developed its overseas markets and set up subsidiary offices in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, exerting more influence among Chinese-speakers abroad than any other Taiwanese publisher.
