About Us
What We Are
Algonquin Books was founded in 1982. The company’s purpose was to publish non-fiction and literary fiction by unpublished young writers. It started out a small southern house, but managed to garner major attention for many of those now-renowned authors, including Lee Smith, Robert Morgan, and Kaye Gibbons, among others. In 1989, Algonquin was acquired by the Workman Publishing Company of New York City, giving the house a broader reach and more diverse list. Today, Algonquin Books is recognized nationwide both in what we publish and in how we publish it. From Water for Elephants to An Arsonist’s Guide to Writers’ Homes in New England; from The Children in Room E4 to Last Child in the Woods, we continue to publish beautiful, stimulating books that everyone can read and enjoy.
