Amazon’s traditional publishing house Amazon Publishing has a number of genre specific imprints under its label, and today has announced its newest family member, Waterfall Press. This imprint will focus specifically on fiction and non-fiction Christian titles. The books will be published under Brilliance Publishing’s leadership, one of the Amazon companies.
“Brilliance has over 12 years of experience serving the Christian market as audiobook publisher of some of the most successful Christian authors writing today,” said Mark Pereira, President and Publisher of Brilliance Publishing. “We are excited to expand our offering to readers of faith-based material by publishing original Christian content with enduring appeal.”
Waterfall Press joins the other Amazon Publishing imprints: 47North, AmazonCrossing, AmazonEncore, Amazon Publishing, Grand Harbor Press, Jet City Comics, Kindle Worlds, Lake Union, Little A, Montlake Romance, Skyscape, StoryFront, Thomas & Mercer, and Two Lions. Brilliance Publishing, part of Amazon’s group, has extensive experience in not only faith-based publishing, but also has been a large player in audiobook publishing across a wide variety of genres and well-known titles.
Several of Waterfall’s upcoming releases, including its two initial titles The Four Best Places to Live and The Quiet Revolution, will be published in partnership with Christianity Today.
“The breadth of Amazon’s opportunities creates a dynamic bridge between the author and reader that can move the content conversation to a growing global audience,” said Harold Smith, President and CEO of Christianity Today.
