Firebird is now considered the premier crossover genre imprint, and November has been named a two-time World Fantasy Award Finalist in the Professional category.

Firebird titles are both paperback reprints and original hardcovers. Reprints are drawn from the children's imprints at PGI; adult genre imprints (Ace and Roc); outside hardcover houses; and the authors themselves. All have covers by adult genre artists, and feature short essays by their authors. Firebird’s hardcover titles are especially unique to the imprint: the award-winning original short story anthologies Firebirds and Firebirds Rising. The imprint publishes between twelve and eighteen books each year. Firebird titles have won the World Fantasy Award, the Newbery Honor Medal, the National Book Award, the Locus Award, the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award, and the Philip K. Dick Award, and have been New York Times best sellers.

The Firebird website—www.firebirdbooks.com—is an integral part of the imprint. It offers a first-chapter archive, a cover gallery, and a wide variety of links. Readers can sign up for the Firebird newsletter for periodic updates, and (if teenagers) ask to be part of the active teen advisory board.
