Amy Einhorn Books/Putnam
Amy Einhorn Books/Putnam was founded in 2007 by Amy Einhorn and launched in February of 2009. The imprint publishes fiction, narrative nonfiction and commercial nonfiction. The overarching tenet of Amy Einhorn Books is to hit the sweet spot between literary and commercial—intelligent writing with a strong narrative and great storytelling. The first title published by Amy Einhorn Books was the #1 New York Times Bestseller, The Help by Kathryn Stockett, and has sold more than 3 million copies. Rights have been sold to 37 countries around the world and a major motion picture is currently being filmed. Other New York Times bestselling titles from the imprint include The Postmistress by Sarah Blake, Bad Things Happen by Harry Dolan, and the #1 International Bestseller The Book of Awesome by Neil Pasricha. Upcoming titles include the much heralded You Know When the Men Are Gone by Siobhan Fallon (January 2011) (already featured on NPR and singled out by PW in the Fall preview issue) and the The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown (February 2011).
