Dzanc Books

Dzanc Books was created in 2006 to advance great writing and champion those writers who don't fit neatly into the marketing niches of for-profit presses. As a nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization, Dzanc Books not only publishes excellent books of literary fiction, but works in partnership with literary journals to advance their readership at every level. Dzanc Books is also fully committed to developing educational programs in the schools and has begun organizing many such workshops and writers in residency programs.

Dzanc Books is committed not just to publishing these great works of fiction, but promoting our authors through print and online media, via author tours and exploration of audio/visual media as well. The great writers Dzanc Books is finding are both emerging writers publishing their debut efforts, as well as established authors searching for a fresh outlook from their publisher. Early works have included stories also found in The Best American Short Stories, The O. Henry Prize Stories, and The Best American Mystery Stories.

The year 2008 will also see the first books from previously established publishers Black Lawrence Press and OV Books, as imprints of Dzanc. These two presses will continue to run editorially as they previously have, with Black Lawrence Press publishing fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, including some works in translation, and OV Books focusing on short story collections. However, they now have the publicity and distribution support of Dzanc Books.
