About Pemberley Press

Pemberley Press is a small publishing house, dedicated to publishing escape fiction for readers with eager minds. We publish mystery novels in hardcover and trade paper formats.

Our titles are also available as ebooks from Belgrave House.

Founded in 2000, Pemberley Press is devoted to producing high quality escape fiction. Our books are as well-paced and entertaining as the best of bestsellers. The difference you will see is in the challenge in their content. They offer greater depth and width to a discriminating audience and will bring you a more memorable experience than the books you will find on the newsstand. Our authors produce one-of-a-kind stories in the best tradition of the classics, with a modern pace.

At Pemberley, our goal is to take you back to the time when a book was an adventure. We publish escape fiction for the reader who loves to learn from novels -- in other words, the painless way.

Our books will bring you a lavish mixture of well-researched, detailed settings, engaging characters to linger in your mind, and fascinating plots to keep you entertained. Our authors think outside the box and break the rules of present-day publishing in order to write the unique and multifaceted stories they love to tell. And we promise that each of their stories will teach you something new, either knowledge to expand your mind or wisdom to enrich your heart.

Pemberley Press is a charter member of The Authors Studio, the first community of small presses owned by successful commercial authors.

Pemberley is a royalty paying publisher. Our authors receive an advance against royalties. We do not accept funds from authors to subsidize the production of their books.

Our books are distributed worldwide by Independent Publishers Group , a subsidiary of Chicago Review Press, founded in 1971, the first organization specifically created for the purpose of marketing titles from independent presses to the book trade. Titles handled by IPG can compete with anything on offer from the major publishing houses.

Pemberley Press is a member of PMA, the Independent Book Publishers Association, a trade association of independent publishers with a membership of more than 4,000 publishers. Founded in 1983, it serves book, audio, and video publishers located in the United States and around the world.

Pemberley Press titles are stocked by Baker & Taylor, Ingram Books, major chains such as Barnes & Noble and Borders, and independent booksellers. They are available through online booksellers, such as Amazon.com, and many regional wholesalers. Pemberley titles are distributed worldwide in English and may be purchased through booksellers in most English-speaking countries.

Our books often receive reviews from major publications, such as Library Journal, Kirkus, The Strand, a variety of urban daily newspapers and mystery print publications, as well as online reviewers.

We receive agented submissions as well as those directly from authors.

Public libraries constitute a major portion of our customer list, and Pemberley titles can be found in public libraries from Maine to California.

Although Pemberley Press does not always appear on lists of recognized mystery authors, we are recognized by and do business with every major segment of the bookselling industry. Due to a small staff, we must keep our list of authors small to be able to maintain the high standards we have set for our publications.
