About Poisoned Pen Press![]() Robert Rosenwald founded Poisoned Pen Press two decades ago, inspired by new print-on-demand technology to bring books back into print, but it swiftly evolved into publishing new crime fiction. He named it Poisoned Pen Press in tribute to wife Barbara's legendary mystery bookstore of the same name. The press quickly evolved into an award-winning independent mystery press, publishing about sixty original books annually. Poisoned Pen Press books have won or been nominated for every major award in the mystery genre. Peters and Rosenwald have been honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Bouchercon crime and mystery conference (2008), the Poirot Award bestowed by the Malice Domestic board of directors to honor individuals other than writers who have made outstanding contributions to the genre, and the Ellery Queen Award at the 2010 Mystery Writers of America’s annual dinner honoring writing teams and outstanding people in the mystery-publishing industry.

I don't know. Is the readership growing over time, though? I've tried reading several of these P.P. authors a few years back and never got past a few pages because of the slow, boring, pedestrian pace and subject matter. God writers, but nit good story tellers.Maybe I expect a higher quality than many of their current readers, but the authors here are bland, seem to be writing for one another and not a larger audience outside their own circle, kind of like dramatists. I wish this venture all the bast of luck; anything to keep alive the written word in a world of cyberspeak, but I'd also like to see it spread its wings a little ore. Is that asking too much?
