September 30 marks the 21st anniversary of Sourcebooks' incorporation. What started as a home-based operation became a small press and eventually something much larger. Today our 70ish publishing professionals continually strive to bring the work of hundreds of authors to readers. It is, in short, ridiculously rewarding work.
Our thanks to everyone who's partnered with us over the years in so many ways, and most especially to our authors, who change lives for the better each and every day.

Banned Books Week is September 29 through October 6. Though the idea of banning or challenging books seems downright prehistoric to most of us in the publishing business, it continues to occur, especially in libraries and schools, across the country. We urge you to check out your local bookstore or library for information and events in your area this week.
