Company Profile
Steerforth Press
Company Overview
Steerforth Press’s first catalog in 1993 declared: “Our interests fall into no category, no field, no niche; our tests of a book’s worth are whether it has been written well, is intended to engage the full attention of the reader, and has something new or important to say.” Over the years, Steerforth has stayed true to this commitment while narrowing its focus to publish exclusively works of narrative nonfiction, such as investigative or literary journalism, true crime and history for a general audience, under its core imprint. With a radical devotion to the truth, its new T2P imprint publishes personal accounts, investigative journalism and iconoclastic histories that are thoughtful and reliable, qualities at a premium in the Internet age, and that inform through storytelling, not argument.
Company History
When four partners launched Steerforth Press in 1993, its first catalog featured “Manifesto for a New Press” which declared “Our interests fall into no category, no field, no niche; our tests of a book’s worth are whether it has been written well, is intended to engage the full attention of the reader, and has something new or important to say.”
