ABOUT 2ND CITY PRESS
Not a day goes by that we aren’t surrounded by great stories—they are everywhere! We love stories, and for those who love stories— reading them and telling them—we exist in one of the most transformational times in the history of the written word (okay, okay, Gutenberg was pretty important, I’ll cede the point.)
2ND City Press provides an outlet for authors who seek an alternative to the traditional publishing grind and a resource for readers seeking well-crafter thrillers from up and coming new authors. The imprint began as an experiment to short-circuit the lengthy industry publishing model (up to 18-24 months) and bring contemporary, mesmerizing thrillers to market—to our readers—faster, without sacrificing quality of product.
The debut title of 2ND City Press—Tiananmen Ascending—proved the use case. Centered on the increasing, unanswered Chinese aggression in the South China Sea and the tumultuous political environment of the United States, the title debuted in June 2016, as geo-political events in the South China Sea were building to a flashpoint.
2nd City Press offers a one-to-one boutique publishing experience, where you are valued for your skill as an author and/or your time as a reader. Full marketing support (ARCs, digital and print campaigns, conferences, launch party, signings, and, of course, swag) helps realize the full potential of all the imprint’s titles, and to reach as many readers as possible. The imprint’s titles are available on Amazon—both Kindle and good ‘ol fashioned physical books—and are coming soon to all major e-reader platforms. In addition, our titles may be found in discerning independent bookstores. Please feel free to contact us at any time with feedback—we’d love to open a dialogue!
The editorial staff at 2nd City Press is always on the search for interesting new authors and stories, and we encourage you to contact us if you have a fantastic story to tell.
