New Babel Books


Publisher info

New Babel Books exists because there are authors out there who have extraordinary projects that don’t fit easily into the pigeonholes of today’s industry. That makes it harder for them to find a publisher. Consequently, it makes it harder for you, the reader, to find truly ground-breaking work. New Babel Books serves to bring the two of you together.

Currently our fiction titles run the gamut from literary romance to hard-hitting science fiction and magical realism. We also publish poetry, speculative fiction, mystery, horror, and adventure. We have recently made the jump into digitial delivery (ebooks) and magazines, as well.

The proud publisher of the iHero universe, New Babel Books brings opens the cage of comic books and lets superheroes have full run of the literary world. The iHero Magazine bridges the gap between comic books and superhero literature: mixing great comic book art with heart-pulsing stories. New Babel's superhero novels have taken a full evolutionary step out of comic books and into the realm of fiction.
