Spencer Hill Press |
The official tumblr presence of Spencer Hill Press. SHP publishes high quality, exciting books in the YA category. Follow us for loads of exciting news. We follow back! There's Magic In These Pages. |
Spencer Hill Press is proud to announce that we have two new imprints starting in 2013: Spence City will publish urban fantasy with a noir edge, while Spencer Hill Contemporary will release YA contemp titles.
Kendra L. Saunders of Spencer Hill Press will attend AAC (Another Anime Con) this month and will host two helpful literary panels. One is the popular Five-Headed Muse panel, which gives attendees tons of insider information about the writing, publishing and marketing process. The other panel focuses on what writers can learn from the world of fan fiction (What You Can Learn From Fanfiction). Both panels will include chances for questions and for the attendees to snag some Spencer Hill Press SWAG, sign up for the SHP mailing list and possibly snatch up an ARC/free book or two!
Kendra is the marketing coordinator at Spencer Hill Press and has a special passion for sharing tips about writing and social media for both new and experienced writers alike.
A few members of Spencer Hill Press and Spence City attended Wednesday and Thursday of NEIBA this week. It was quite fun to meet booksellers in person and hear their thoughts and opinions on the book industry and on bookseller/publisher relations.
Here’s a picture from the event:

Here is a picture from Providence’s historic Biltmore hotel:

Among other things we talked about during the NEIBA conference was that booksellers and bloggers would like to have more open dialogue with publishers, since all of us love books. No matter if we’re a reader, blogger, seller, publicist, author, publisher or distributor, we should work together to promote literacy, imagination, great ideas, dreams and the future of our world.
I’d love to hear from you. Ask box us some more information about you, or your opinions on the relationship needs between the publisher and YOU. Are any of you booksellers? Are any of you bloggers? Does your bookstore want to get more ARCs, more bookmarks, more SWAG?

Hi everyone,
Pure: The Second Covenant Novel (Jennifer L. Armentrout) will be released on April 3rd. It’s got forbidden love, danger, gorgeous demi-gods, conspiracies, and a pool scene that—well, you gotta read the pool scene. The first book of the series, Half-Blood, has received great reviews and has an amazing fan-following.
Elemental, the debut of Emily White, will be released May 1st. The story of Ella—a girl who escapes the prison spaceship on which she’s been held since she was a child and searches to discover who she is and why she was taken—is by turns funny, terrifying, and swooningly beautiful.
Betrayed (Ednah Walters) will be released June 5th. It’s not easy for Lil to balance a normal high school life with being one of the Nephilim, especially when someone is trying to lure her to the dark side. This is an exciting, addictive read.
Cursed (Jennifer L. Armentrout) will be out in hardcover (our first hardcover release!) in September. After a fatal car accident, anything Ember touches dies. And that, well, really blows.
A revised edition of Minder (Kate Kaynak) will be released in September with a new look. At Ganzfield, every social interaction carries the threat of mind control, a stray thought can burn a building to the ground, and people’s nightmares don’t always stay in their own heads. But it’s still better than New Jersey.
Deity: The Third Covenant Novel continues Jennifer L. Armentrout’s amazing series in November, and like the name implies, the gods aren’t just sitting back and letting things play out anymore.
Angela J. Townsend will debut with Amarok on November 20th. After crashing her car on an Alaskan road, Emma finds herself in a world in which magic can transform people into animals, and love can be found in unexpected places.
