How can I request advance reading copies (ARCs) of books from your forthcoming list?
We’re pleased to offer advance e-galleys to approved professional readers. (That’s you!) Our e-galleys are typically available 5–6 months prior to publication on both Edelweiss and Netgalley. You will need to register (free) at either of these sites to request e-galleys. We do create printed ARCs in limited quantities. These are usually reserved for trade shows and giveaways, but don’t hesitate to email to request a printed ARC as we may still have some on hand.

Can I be added to your catalog mailing list?
The quickest way to view our most recent catalogs is to visit us on Edelweiss. We also post PDFs of our most recent offerings (within the past year) on our website. If you would prefer to receive a printed catalog, send us an email and we’ll add you to our mailing list!
