Steerforth Press has become an imprint of Pushkin Press US, two years after its acquisition by Pushkin Press, which has headquarters in London. Steerforth co-founder and senior editor Chip Fleischer will acquire approximately 10 nonfiction titles annually, allowing Steerforth to maintain its identity.
Adam Freudenheim, Pushkin Press publisher and managing director, commented: "Thanks to our terrific U.S.-based team working closely with colleagues in London we've had a remarkable run of successful publishing, across Pushkin Press and Steerforth Press. We will continue to invest in and grow the U.S. business in the coming years. Mirroring the success of the London operation, we plan to develop the editorial team, its publishing program, and will be open to acquiring publishing lists or businesses to complement Pushkin Press US."
Steerforth's major titles for 2026 include Tad Stoermer's A Resistance History of the United States, publishing June 2, just before the country's 250th anniversary, and reframing American history through its various resistance movements, and Conversations with an Executioner, Sean Gasper Bye's translation of Kazimierz Moczarski's account of his interviews with Nazi war criminal Jürgen Stroop.
Pushkin said that North American sales increased by $1.6 million (or 119%) in 2025, and the Pushkin Vertigo crime imprint increased sales by 207% year on year. Pushkin added that Pushkin US's sales and marketing director David Goldberg and his team have overseen this period of growth alongside publishing operations director Devin Wilkie.
