Publisher info

Zumaya Publications is committed to two things: allowing undiscovered talent the opportunity to be heard and moving publishing into the 21st century by actively using and promoting new technologies and business models that have significantly less environmental impact than the traditional one.

Zumaya Publications was founded in British Columbia in 1999 by author Diana Kemp-Jones and artist/author Martine Jardin. Their goal was to develop a publishing company that combined the best of the old, traditional methods with the best of the new. For them, this meant developing an internet-based house that utilized print-on-demand technology.

In 2006, Zumaya moved to Austin TX as Zumaya Publications LLC, under the direction of Executive Editor Elizabeth Burton. Over the next three years, Zumaya branched into imprints—Arcane, Boundless, Embraces, Enigma, Otherworlds, Thresholds, Yesterdays and a graphic novel imprint, Zumaya Fabled Ink. In 2009, Marianne and Joyanne Moul replaced Jardin as partners in the company.

Zumaya Publications books are available to booksellers and libraries through Ingram, and to readers wherever books are sold. Zumaya ebook editions are in all popular formats, and are likewise available from all major electronic book vendors, now including Smashwords, as well as on our website: http://www.irresponsiblereading.com
