Beginning February 1, Macmillan will distribute indie digital publisher Entangled's English-language e-books in all domestic and international markets and for all platforms where Macmillan currently does business. Entangled has 12 imprints, representing more than 350 authors, that release 30 titles per month. The deal includes additional resources and personnel from Macmillan to strengthen Entangled's infrastructure.
In a separate agreement, St. Martin's Press will launch a new joint venture imprint known as St. Martin's/Entangled, which will bring into print and publish some of Entangled's digital first titles.
"This partnership brings a global leader in print and digital distribution, ensuring Entangled can continue to support our rapid growth and success," said Liz Pelletier, CEO and publisher of Entangled.
Macmillan CEO John Sargent commented: "We are hugely impressed with Liz Pelletier's vision and what she has accomplished in such a short time. We found her out-of-the-box approach to publishing incredibly exciting and saw potential to work together with her on several levels. We think Liz and Entangled have found a new way forward and we think we can help build on that remarkable success."
