Adelaide Books Publishers

Publisher info

ADELAIDE BOOKS is a New York based independent company dedicated to publishing literary fiction and creative nonfiction. It was founded in July 2017 as an imprint of the Adelaide Literary Magazine, with the aim to facilitate publishing of novels, memoirs, and collections of short stories, poems, and essays by contributing authors of our magazine and other qualified writers.

We believe that in doing so, we best fulfill the mission outlined in Adelaide Magazine – “to promote writers we publish, helping both new and emerging, and established authors reaching a wider literary audience.”

Our motto is: We don't publish classics, we make classics.

All titles are published in paperback and eBook format and offered through our distributors for bookstore distribution in the US, and through Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and other major retailers for online sale worldwide. Optionally, we do hardcover editions with or without dust-jacket. Additionally, we offer the possibility of translating books into Portuguese and Spanish and publishing short-run paperback editions for distribution in bookstores in Portugal and Spain.

We offer to our authors two unique publishing contract options which guarantee full transparency of the pre-print and post-print publishing process, and generous royalties paid in a timely manner.

We are members of the Independent Book Publishers Association.

Smashwords Interview

What do your fans mean to you?
I still have to get used to idea having fans and followers. On Goodreads, I have 52. It’s not too many. But I know there are some I even don’t know about. A few years ago, I met at the book fair in Serbia two young guys interested in buying my latest book. It turned out they have and read all my books. That was fascinating for me!
What are you working on next?
The third book in the Michael Nicolau Series, “The Diary of the New York Baker.” It is due out in March 2017. It will differ greatly from anything else I’ve written so far. I am very excited about it.

“Coffin brings to the page a very real conflict faced by many people. She shows how the struggle to survive, to heal, exacts itself morally and physically on a person.
