PUBLISHING


As Publishers, Dzanc's mission is to help find a home for many amazing, talented authors. We plan to publish at least four books ourselves in 2008—and several others through our imprints, Black Lawrence Press, OV Books and Monkeybicycle—with an even larger number each year thereafter. Dzanc Books is familiar with the horror tales about authors hearing back from editor after editor praising their work but stating marketing couldn't figure out how they would promote their book. Dzanc has no such fears. If the manuscript is excellent, we will provide editing guidance and do whatever it takes to find the audience a work deserves. We aren't concerned about a Dzanc book falling into some special niche to market towards as our strategy is far more expansive. Everybody here at Dzanc is well connected and aligned with editors, distributors and public relations folks who have years of experience working with literary fiction.
