Atlantic Monthly Press

About Atlantic Monthly Press

Atlantic Monthly Press is an American literary imprint founded in Boston in 1917 as the book publishing arm of The Atlantic Monthly magazine, and since the early 1990s part of the independent New York publisher Grove Atlantic.

For many years the press was run jointly with Little, Brown and Company; Grove Atlantic's own timeline says it became a Little, Brown imprint in 1934.

In 1986 the press was sold and separated from the magazine, becoming a fully independent publishing house, while Little, Brown kept the older Atlantic Monthly backlist. Atlantic Monthly Press then merged with Grove Press to form Grove Atlantic, in 1993 according to Wikipedia (Grove Atlantic's timeline gives 1992). Grove Atlantic still describes itself as an independent literary publisher since 1917, in reference to the press's founding.

Under Grove Atlantic, Atlantic Monthly Press was the American publisher of Kiran Desai's The Inheritance of Loss, which won the 2006 Man Booker Prize. It remains one of Grove Atlantic's imprints alongside Grove Press, The Mysterious Press and Black Cat, with Morgan Entrekin as president and publisher.
