Water Street Press (WSP) publishes extraordinary writers working in long-form and short-form, creating literary fiction, commercial fiction and non- fiction for an intelligent, engaged readership. WSP's guiding passion is to work with both established writers and new talent to publish work often considered too risky, too controversial, too "niche" for established publishers. WSP adheres to the time-honored tradition of carefully curating and thoroughly editing the writers it chooses to publish while taking advantage of emergent, cost-effective and environmentally friendly production, distribution and marketing technologies. WSP publishes both trade paperback and e-book editions—and our e-books are DRM-free: readers who purchase e-books through the WSP web site will receive their purchases in three industry-standard formats, ensuring compatibility with all of the most popular reading devices. Additionally, WSP partners with the major on-line e-book retailers Amazon, Barnes & Noble and the iBookstore. Our writers are extraordinary. Our books are provocative. Our readers are smart.
