Opinion: Roxane Gay Books — a model for publishing industry – Chicago Tribune

Grove Atlantic will publish three titles a year under the Roxane Gay Books banner, a number allowing for both editorial and marketing focus. This is not a vanity project of a publisher trying to capitalize on a name author by firing out titles like souvenirs from T-shirt cannon at a ballgame. Working with Amy Hundley, her editor at Grove Atlantic, Gay will be hands-on and invested. As an author, she has experienced firsthand what it is to publish without being given the support and resources necessary, and can be an internal guide and advocate for these new authors.
