Publishers Weekly writes that Big 6 and other major publishers are
stepping up their launches of digital
imprints. Some are
digital-first, while others are digital-only. Here's a list:
- Penguin is reviving Dutton Guilt Edged Mysteries, which started as
a pulp imprint that released 82 noir detective titles from 1947 to
1956, as a digital-only imprint. In addition, its InterMix imprint
will serialize titles, starting with the original erotic romance Because
You Are Mine, which will be released in eight parts, with one
part released each week.
- HarperCollins will double the output of its Impulse digital-first
imprint from one title per week to two, and will add William Morrow
and Harper Voyager to Impulse.
- Random House's Loveswept is focusing on eBook reissues of Bantam,
Ballantine and Dell paperbacks that haven't previously been released
as eBooks.
- Hachette's Forever Yours digital imprint does eBooks first, with
Print on Demand versions one to two months later; the company plans
to have simultaneous eBook and POD releases by the end of this year.
- Harlequin's digital-only Carina Press imprint allows Harlequin's
international divisions to release its titles as both print and
eBooks.
- Kensington has launched eKensington as a digital-only imprint.
- F+W Media is taking its Crimson Romance eBook imprint from beta
test to full release, concurrent with the rollout of a new eBook
subscription site for romance titles. In addition, the company's
Prologue Books imprint has reprinted eBook versions of 300 pulp
fiction titles from the 1940's, 50's and 60's, and will release 30
titles per month.
