It is a new year today; the [...]

Happy Holidays-2!

We're on vacation enjoying things like rest and possibly also candy canes; we hope you are similarly relaxing and reading things (perhaps even some of our excellent books if [...]

Happy Thanksgiving-1!

test heading (photo from the State Library and Archives of Florida.  This is not one of the turkeys that we keep around the office to aid us in our publishing tasks.  You can recognize those because of their excellent typing skills.)

NYCC: We Went There

test headingOne of my favorite things about NYCC is the fact that so many people come up to our booth and say things like, 'I heard about your book on NPR' or 'I saw this book in the New York Times.'  Things that mean that the people we're see are really readers of books!  I [...]

Down the Hudson with Mark Siegel’s Sailor Twain

test headingWe're super-excited about our upcoming graphic novel Sailor Twain, which is full of mermaids and magic and sex and also some serious things which we won't mention here. Lev Grossman (of The Magicians fame) said this book was "a marvel of graphical beauty and complex, intelligent storytelling."  How neat is that? If you'd like [...]
