There is a broad, rich spectrum of books that find themselves in the fantasy category, from YA all the way to treasured literary classics, the unifying thread being that they bend reality in pleasing, terrifying, and enchanting ways.

“I’ve been honored to publish many beautiful SF&F books that have been best-selling, award-nominated, critically acclaimed (or all three!), and I’m thrilled to carry on my work with the many great authors in this genre and build the special attention and individual approach that a boutique independent publisher can provide.When you hear the word fantasy, you might think of magicians and talking animals, and dismiss the genre in favor of more “adult” literature. “I started to learn about science fiction and fantasy at Tor Books as an intern, but I’ve loved those genres ever since I started reading,” Gorinsky said in a statement. Funding for the company will come from “families with over fifty years of publishing experience and are committed to the long-term growth of the company,” according to Erewhon, with distribution provided by Workman Publishing, home of Algonquin Books, publisher of ‘Water for Elephants.’ She will be joined by editorial assistant Jillian Feinberg and Peter Burri, founder of independent press The Experiment, who will serve as business advisor. Gorinsky, who has been nominated seven times in the prestigious Hugo Awards category Best Editor (Long Form) – she won in 2017 – will act as president and publisher of the new company.
