| Amazon Publishing recently merged their east and west coast operations and now runs it out of New York, spearheaded by Larry Kirshbaum. It basically takes all of their imprints and houses them under one roof, making the entire process less fragmented and easy to manage. Today, Amazon unveiled a new website devoted to all of their imprints and you can visit it HERE. Amazon originally launched their publishing program in 2012 and has seen great success with luring established authors to publish books with them. Often, these books get the audio and eBook treatment, alongside their printed counterparts, which are sold in retail stores. In the last few months they launched two new imprints, that fill a gap in the publishing industry. Little A, is centered around literary fiction and provides a home for works that have previously just been considered Amazon Publishing titles. The second is digital-only Day One, which functions as a launchpad for debut authors to publish, but will also host a much-needed home for short story authors. While long form journalism and e-novellas have taken off thanks in large part to digital publishing, short story authors are still feeling the frustration of being relegated to anthologies or trying to swim their titles in the sea of other 99cent-ebooks without a platform for discovery. These two new imprints join Montlake for romance, Thomas & Mercer for mysteries, Encore for reintroduced out-of-print titles, Crossing for internationally translated works, and 47 North for science fiction, fantasy, and horror titles. The new website Amazon has unveiled basically is a centralized portal that allows bookstores, authors, writers and the media to gain a deeper understanding of what their publishing program is all about, and what differentiates it from CreateSpace, Kindle Singles and Kindle Direct Publishing.
