Quercus Sets Its Sights on September U.S. Launch

Posted at 8:10AM Monday 28 Jan 2013

Since it was founded in May 2004 by Mark Smith and Wayne Davis, Quercus Publishing has become one of the largest independent book publishers in the U.K., and as the next step in its growth, the company has aggressive plans to expand in the U.S. At last fall's Frankfurt Book Fair, the publisher announced that it had signed with Random House Publisher Services to handle distribution of its print and digital titles in the U.S. and Canada when it launches with 40 titles this September. Smith hopes to scale up quickly, with a total of about 80 titles set for release in Quercus's first year, with that count going to 120 in 2015.
