Creative Nonfiction magazine will launch a book imprint called Creative Nonfiction Books. The imprint will debut with two titles in the spring.
Creative Nonfiction Books’ initial projects will include several essay anthologies “offering multiple perspectives and appealing to a diverse readership.” Three essay collections are planned so far: Becoming a Nurse, Surviving Crisis and Southern Sin. Publishers Group West will handle the distribution.
Founder/editor Lee Gutkind had this statement in the press release: “Now, with the traditional publishing industry in turmoil, we see opportunities for a small publisher with a well-established base. Creative Nonfiction has a long history of spotting talent and of introducing new writers who have important stories to tell. The book imprint offers the opportunity to expand our reach—and to help those writers, and their stories, find a wider audience.”
