Ravenna Press Signs Distribution Agreement With Atlasbooks

Ravenna has recently signed with AtlasBooks, the distribution division of BookMasters, for nationwide distribution services. The partnership is expected to greatly expand the accessibility of Ravenna titles everywhere, a significant benefit to our current and future authors, since Atlas represents a broad spectrum of publishers and will be providing Ravenna books to bookstores via the major wholesalers such as Ingram, Black & Taylor, etc. and to the public directly via their online ordering system (toll-free 1-800-247-6553 or Ravenna Press on Atlas Books) and via our own website.

Ravenna Press Acquires Triple Press

Ravenna announces the acquisition of Triple Press, home to a small but growing selection of fine, innovative titles. The acquisition gives Ravenna an established, well-respected print-on-demand arm to add to its press-run selections. Over the next year selected Triple Press titles will be converted to stocked inventory and be made available to booksellers.

Cooper Renner, co-editor with founder Deron Bauman at Triple Press and editor of the online magazine elimae, joins Ravenna as Editor-at-Large along with owner and Chief Editor, Kathryn Rantala, and expects to expand Ravenna's presence in modern translations and international experimental work in addition to editing new Triple Press titles.
