Publishing - Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
Candlemark & Gleam is an experiment in publishing. We consider ourselves modern anachronists – creative types dedicated to preserving the beauty and individuality of age-old publishing forms while adapting them for the digital era. Our goal is to distribute innovative, high-quality creative works in an innovative manner. We don't believe that the Electronic Era has to mean the death of the book. In fact, we think it opens up exciting new avenues…and reopens some exciting old ones, too. Some long-forgotten publishing concepts are due for a revival, and Candlemark & Gleam is out to inject new life into ideas like serial fiction, book clubs, bundling, and bespoke binding. We also aim to experiment with publishing tricks only possible in this brave new era of digital wonders: embedded content, multimedia and reality-bending fiction, and more. If you can dream it up, Candlemark & Gleam wants to try it. We specialize in speculative fiction – it's another way we want to explore what's possible. We believe wholeheartedly in the power of imagination, and we want to promote speculative fiction (sci-fi, fantasy, horror, etc.) as it deserves to be promoted: as a way of looking at things with fresh eyes. Our books appear both as print (POD) and digital, upholding the best, most sustainable and ethical publishing models in existence. In short, Candlemark & Gleam aims to marry the best of publishing's past with the best of its future – combining Victorian publishing concepts with 21st-century technology in order to create something new, something exciting, and something that can update the book and the story for what lies ahead. Our works have racked up awards and accolades including a Publisher's Weekly Best SF/F Novel (Erekos, 2011), and multiple reprints and mentions in Year's Best Sci-Fi as well as a Nebula for Best Novelette (The Other Half of the Sky, 2013).
