Independent Publishers Group has added four new publisher clients to its sales and distribution programs:
Back Nine Press, which is devoted to publishing books about golf: great stories that define golf today, personal reflections on the meaning of the game, and compelling writing about the people who are forging the future of golf. Back Nine Press aims to reflect the values, experiences, and true diversity of golf while giving great writers in the golf world the opportunity to see their work in print. (Effective in February.)
Bannermen Books, which publishes fantasy, sci-fi, and historical fiction with a literary flair. They use the conventions of their principal genres to say something personal with the goal of publishing fiction that draws the reader in with the promise of adventure, then changes the way they look at the world. Readers will find tales of pirates, gladiators, wizards, and starship captains along with lyrical prose, poignant storylines, and themes that resonate. (Effective in June.)
Tenebrous Press, an independent publisher of horror, literary, science fiction and fantasy, and beyond. They aim to drag the malleable horror genre into new territory with stories that are provocative, intelligent, and terrifying, delivered by voices diverse & unsung. A self-proclaimed publisher of "weird" books, Tenebrous Press takes a mindful approach to caring for authors and has carved out a high-quality identity among the speculative fiction market. (Effective in June.)
Latitude 46 Publishing, a Canadian publisher that champions literary works and powerful stories. They seek to publish exceptional works from authors across Canada whose stories align with their values of resilience, identity, and community. During their first 10 years, they have discovered, supported, and brought books that have a touch (or more) of Northern Ontario. The namesake of Latitude 46 Publishing is attributed to their location in Sudbury, Ont., along the 46th parallel. (Effective in April.)
