Ulysses Press has acquired VeloPress, a health and fitness book publisher, from Outside Interactive, Inc. Ulysses Press said that the move will add titles like Running Rewired, The Triathlete's Training Bible, and The Feed Zone Cookbook to Ulysses's health and fitness catalog. Ulysses Press will continue to use the VeloPress name as an imprint.
Keith Riegert, publisher of Ulysses Press, said the publisher will "continue to grow the audience for some of the world's best sports training books and fitness experts. Outside has done a phenomenal job of developing these category leading titles and world-class authors; we feel privileged to have the chance to continue VeloPress' legacy into the future."
Ulysses Press, Berkeley, Calif., and Brooklyn, N.Y., began as an adventure travel publisher in 1983, then expanded to publish titles in religion and spirituality and health and fitness. It is now "a data-driven, cutting-edge indie publisher--seeking out new projects on everything from pop culture and cooking to education and true crime."
