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 intelligent writing with a strong narrative, always with great storytelling at its core. Amy Einhorn Books seeks that perfect blend of literary and commercial. The first title published by Amy Einhorn Books was The Help by Kathryn Stockett (February 10, 2009). It has been on the New York Times bestseller list for over three months, the longest time for a debut this year thus far. The Help has received extraordinary reception amongst booksellers and reviewers. It was a Barnes & Noble "Discover" pick for Spring 2009, a February 2009 Indie Next Pick, and a Main Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club. Foreign rights have been sold in 23 countries to date. The Atlanta Journal Constitution raves, "The Help allows us to see that complexity, with all its nuanced emotion, until we realize the similarities that make us all human — black or white. This heartbreaking story is a stunning debut from a gifted talent."
