All Due Respect, a publisher of "low-life literature and crime fiction," has become an imprint of Down & Out Books. All Due Respect publisher and executive editor Chris Rhatigan will continue in his current role with the new venture. The first new books from the imprint will be published in early 2018, and the entire backlist will be reissued.
"I've known Chris for many years, and have read many if not all of their books," said Eric Campbell, publisher of Down & Out Books. "ADR's unique vision in the world of crime fiction will be a strong asset to our library of titles."
Chris Rhatigan added that he and Mike Monson started All Due Respect Books three years ago to publish hardcore crime fiction. "While Mike is stepping away, I will continue to pursue that goal with support from the Down & Out Books team. The expertise and insight Eric brings will help take us to the next level. Down & Out Books has an amazing roster of celebrated authors and titles. I couldn't be working with a finer group of people."
