Brooklyn Book Festival OnePage
Week of 08-Jun-2012
Founded in 1986, Soho Press is an independent publisher of literary fiction and international mystery series.
We're probably most well-known for our Soho Crime line, which is renowned for both foreign crime novels in translation like the New York Times bestselling Danish thriller, The Boy in the Suitcase and Japan’s 2012 Oe Prize-winner The Thief, as well as culturally rich, atmospheric books by English-language authors set in foreign locales like the March 2012 IndieNext selection Murder at the Lanterne Rouge, set in Paris, and Stuart Neville's 2010 LA Times Book Prize-winner The Ghosts of Belfast, set in Northern Ireland.
We also have a rich history of literary fiction from Edwidge Danticat, Garth Stein, Stephen Fry and dozens of other amazing authors. Just last month, Alex Shakar’s critically acclaimed Luminarium just won the LA Times Book Prize for Fiction. Other exciting literary fiction on the horizon: Nine Months by Paula Bomer, Zombie by J. R. Angelella and Too Bright to Hear Too Loud to See, by Juliann Gary.
Our current publisher, Bronwen Hruska, took the reins in 2010 after her mother, Laura Hruska, passed away. Over the last two years, Bronwen has lengthened Soho's reach in the crime fiction community and worked to distinguish Soho’s literary offerings by acquiring bold, daring fiction from new and established authors. As an independent publisher, we are proud to publish the books we love and authors we believe in regardless of prevailing tastes.
In January, Soho branches out into uncharted territory with the launch of a young adult mystery and thriller imprint—Soho Teen— which kicks off with an exciting new series by #1 New York Times bestseller, Jacquelyn Mitchard. (We just had a really nice write up in Publishers Weekly that outlines some of the big developments at Soho over the last couple of years.)
Two of our authors, J. R. Angelella (Zombie) and Alex Shakar, have been confirmed on panels at the Brooklyn Book Festival and we're going to have a whole cavalcade of authors dropping by our tent for signings throughout the day.
