Founded in early 2007, our mission—if you'll pardon the grandiose expression—is to publish books of high quality, in terms of both content and form, more or less regardless of topic or domain. The traditional publishing model doesn't necessarily select manuscripts by intrinsic merit, but rather by a combination of merit and marketability. Thus, many books that merit publication, but don't have adequate sales projections, fail to find a publisher; while many books that follow tried-and-true formulae make it into print, regardless of merit.

Conventional publishers are welcome to the second of these categories; we will try to find manuscripts that would be published in a perfect world, where sales take second or third place to intrinsic value. We are not actively soliciting manuscripts at this time, but relying on networks—and a bit of luck—to find what we believe are diamonds in the rough.
