Arcturus Publishing Creates Trade Imprint for the U.S.

Arcturus Publishing, which has headquarters in London, England, has established a trade imprint called Sirius that will specialize in trade titles for a broad market, including practical art and entertainment, history and science, for the U.S. market. Sirius will be sold here by Bookmasters, Arcturus's North American distributor since 2011. Sirius is a departure of sorts for Arcturus, which has specialized in promotional book-based publishing.

Vanessa Daubney, who has been hired as editorial director of Sirius, said, "It has been really encouraging to see our increased growth in the U.S. and Canada over recent years. It has become apparent that to continue this growth we needed to differentiate our position in the trade from our wider business activities. This new trade imprint is a critical part of our efforts to attract new authors and expand our program." She added that the company remains "committed to creating books that combine great content, attractive design, and superior production to give the reader exceptional value for their money."

Among upcoming Sirius titles are The Story of World Mythologies by Professor Teri-Ann White and Archeology by Gaynor Aaltonen.
