Does the world need another independent press? If so, what’s so special about this one?
First of all, Savvy Press is not new. We’ve been around since 1999, a long time by Internet standards. We started up when the new print technologies made possible by the digital revolution were the latest thing to rock the publishing world. We got in on the ground floor, made a name for ourselves in venues like Publishers Weekly, Booklist and Foreword Magazine. Since then, we’ve managed to stay at least half a step ahead of most of the publishing world. We were publishing e-book versions of our print publications as far back as 2002.
We have three imprints:
Savvy Press, our flagship which publishes top-of-the-line mysteries as well as mainstream fiction and nonfiction. SagaSF, our science fiction line. And Gowanus Books, our imprint devoted to writers in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and any place not part of the so-called First World.
You can see all our titles at our main website: SavvyPress.com. You can also find us on Facebook.
Our books are available to the trade through Ingram, Baker & Taylor, and Brodart and in the United Kingdom and Europe through Bertrams.
What kind of books do we publish? Good books. Well-written books. Books you would be proud to own and share with your friends. We don’t believe genre fiction-writing should be of any less quality than the so-called literary kind. We publish both genre and mainstream fiction, and we dare you to find any difference in the quality between the two.
The purpose of this blog will be to keep you informed about events and other breaking news at Savvy Press. But we’ll also keep you abreast of what we consider important developments in the publishing world generally as they pertain to you, the reader. In addition, we’ll keep you entertained with author interviews and readings, not to mention extended excerpts from each of our excellent titles.
We will also give you an opportunity—nay, a figurative shove—to talk back to us. We see this blog very much as a two-way conversation between you, our readers, and us the publishers and authors. Without you, we are just so much ink and pixels. With you, we are that most delightful of all creations: books.
