jill : we already publish a good amount of books for a mid - size press , 100 - 110 new titles every year . the goal is not to publish more but sell even more of what we already publish . reach even more readers with our exceptional product .
jill : we expect to . our books are sold through most major booksellers in the us and worldwide , but there are some holes that have historically been tough to fill . for example , there are accounts that have been tough to crack because we may only have one or two perfect books for them in a year . buyers may not meet with a supplier than only has one or two products to pitch . that limited our effectiveness . but now , as part of the rhps client roster , we hopefully can have that opportunity to be sold directly to such an account .
seventh street books® , launched in october 2012 , is devoted to publishing quality crime fiction regardless of subgenre . from puzzling mystery to psychological suspense , from hardboiled noir to legal thriller , the seventh street books line includes both veteran and debut authors . the imprint has developed several favorite ongoing series ( such as the novels of hugo marston , samuel craddock , mark angelotti , and detective sean duffy ) and continues to discover and nurture exciting new talent , such as authors lori rader - day ( the black hour ) , mark pryor ( the button man ) , and allen eskens ( the life we bury ) .
jill : it’s a best of both worlds scenario . authors continue to get the specialized attention a mid - size press like prometheus can offer , and the opportunity to publish more niche content as well as mass - appeal work , while benefiting from the sales and distribution economy of scale that random house publisher services brings to the table . also , rhps is extremely selective in taking on new clients . it’s a stamp of approval for our imprints .
humanity books , acquired in 1998 , publishes academic works of high quality across a wide spectrum of the humanities . designed for scholars , students , and the educated public , it is committed to presenting cutting - edge research in philosophy ( both analytic and continental philosophy ) ; the history of philosophy ; sociology ; history ; the history of science ; political science ; race , ethnicity , and gender studies ; and classic works in black studies and women ' s studies , among other disciplines .
jill : as a very self - contained independent press , we’ve managed to achieve incredible growth over the last 40 plus years . our books are sold all over the world and can often be found on the new release displays at national us chains . however , a company our size can never match the resources of the world’s largest general - interest trade - book publisher . their publisher services sales team has as many people as our entire company . they come to the marketplace equipped with the leverage of enormous sales successes . they have different bargaining power with big players like amazon than we do alone . they can execute a one - day laydown at retail . we also get access to a brain trust of experienced publishing professionals . that kind of routine knowledge - sharing is very valuable , especially to a publisher that’s based in amherst , ny and not manhattan . and we’ve learned already that they are not just some moneyed machine but a group of extremely passionate book people . they are very excited about the books we publish , and that’s extremely gratifying .
jill : the random house deal has been four or five years in the making . they approached us , and they tell us that influential publishing executives had pointed to us as one to watch . other distributors had sought our business over the years , but we’re an unusually self - contained company , with very little outsourcing overall . we’d never felt they could offer us substantially more than we did for ourselves , until now .
jill : hopefully , no . for quite a while there’s actually more work , not less , as we integrate with their timeline , schedule , and requirements . and the relationship opens up many new marketing possibilities for us , so we expect to repurpose some employees as opportunities and needs arise . we’re investigating ways to put our warehouse and distribution capabilities to use in new ways . it will be quite a while before we see for sure how it all shakes out , but we’re certainly aiming to minimize or avoid layoffs as much as possible .
