Young Authors First
We champion books written by children — 15 titles so far, authored by young writers aged 10 to 20, given a real publishing home.
A Home for Tamil Books — and the Young Voices Who Write Them
Nool Kudil Pathippagam, also known as Book Hut Publications, is a family-run Chennai publishing house with a catalogue of more than 600 titles — and a rare commitment to publishing books written by children.
Our Story
A Family Publishing House in Chennai
Nool Kudil Pathippagam is led by Rama Meyappan, its editor and publisher, together with his daughter Vishalakshi, a director of the company. From Chennai, we have grown a catalogue of over 600 titles spanning children's books, history, health and wellness, poetry, fiction, and a volume of the Tirukkural.
In 2005 we founded the monthly magazine Ungal Unavu Ulagam (Your Food World), carrying our love of the written word beyond the bookshelf and into everyday life.
What We Stand For
More than a publisher, we are a home that nurtures readers, writers, and the next generation of Tamil voices.
A Wide-Ranging Catalogue
Over 600 titles across children's books, history, health and wellness, poetry, fiction, and the Tirukkural.
Rooted in the Trade
