The oldest independent mass-market publisher in America.

Dorchester Publishing has been involved in the publishing of mass market books since 1971, making Dorchester the oldest independent mass market publisher in America. From our founding, we have strived to bring the best fiction to millions of fans. Although mostly known for romance, Dorchester also publishes world-class horror, thrillers and Westerns titles, as well as the award-winning Hard Case Crime line of pulp-style mysteries, and recently added Science Fiction and Fantasy titles from the award-winning Wildside Press. In addition, Dorchester has recently begun distributing the bestselling Family Doctor series of health guides in the U.S. and Canada.

Our size and independence give us the opportunity to react quickly to the new interests of the reading public and find and develop fresh types of Romances, Horror, Westerns, Thrillers and Young Adult books to appeal to today's fans. In 1994, we reacted to the market and created a new imprint, Love Spell, to handle the newer types of romance. It became the perfect complement to our traditional Leisure imprint. In 2003 we added Thrillers and created the Smooch imprint for Young Adult titles. And in the summer of 2004, we launched Making It for trade paperback chick-lit novels.

Above all, Dorchester is driven to bring you the best books possible at a good value. Our covers demonstrate the work of the best artists in the business, illustrating our determination to produce the highest quality overall product. Our titles can be found wherever books are sold, and we also offer book clubs and a comprehensive Web site for automatic, easy ordering.
