J.New Books publishes work from emerging writers of literary fiction; books that evoke emotion, take the reader places she hasn’t been and blur the line between reader and author, creating a trans-formative mind-meld across space and time.
As industry expert, Brooke Warner has pointed out “literary writers are not getting traditional publishing deals.” She defines literary works as “books of substance, that are more intellectual, typically better written, and stylistically more sophisticated,” and goes onto to point out that although these works used to be celebrated by mainstream culture, today, “ they’re the least desirable projects for agents and editors. Even those who love them can’t afford to take them on. Agents can’t sell them because publishers can’t justify their publication. This week I had lunch with an agent friend who expressed her frustration that the best manuscripts she’s representing simply aren’t selling to traditional publishers.”
Our goal is to help remedy this situation, if only on a small scale. We aim to publish twelve works of literary fiction a year; smart books for intelligent people.
We are looking for manuscripts of literary fiction and have a soft spot for dark literary fiction with an existential bent. Think The Savage Detectives, Under the Volcano, or Death on Installment Plan.
