Luke Murphy's Company Details
Publishing great books by talented writers and forging connections with readers for the long-term. In 1987, in a small garage in Southern Oregon, Blackstone was born. Founded by Craig and Michelle Black, the early days consisted of a small handful of family members and employees working out of their home, building the business one cassette tape at a time. With a fresh perspective on the reading experience, Craig and Michelle, along with their trusted team, found new and innovative methods to not only produce and distribute audiobooks, but also pioneered creative ways to collaborate with publishers, booksellers, and the audiobook listening community. 2017 marked Blackstone’s 30th anniversary, and the company continues to grow, innovate, and further the ascendancy of the overall audiobook business. To date, we've produced over 12,000 audiobooks, releasing 100+ new titles each month. Our new print publishing venture is built upon this foundation. Our goal is to publish groundbreaking books (fiction and nonfiction) by talented writers, and to forge long- term connections with readers, booksellers, librarians, and the overall publishing community. We’re thrilled to be working with bestselling authors like P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast, Shelley Shepard Gray, Cory Doctorow and more to publish print books, e-books, and audiobooks, furthering our commitment to bringing quality, entertaining stories to as many people as possible, in the most creative and innovative ways imaginable.
