PUBLISHING HOUSE

“In a publishing world where a set of highly specific criteria all too often determine what work sees the light of print, Adelaide Books is what many writers, poets, essayists, and memoirists have long pined for. The publisher, Stevan Nikolic, has that rarest blend of traits: high literary standards, impeccable judgment, and a willingness to take a chance on work that might be deemed too far outside the mainstream for some publishers to consider. If Franz Kafka, Charles Bukowski, James Purdy, and Carson McCullers were alive and writing today, no doubt they would turn to this platform. Its role is indispensable.”

Michael Washburn, Author of THE UPROOTED; STRANGER, STRANGER; and WHEN WE’RE GROWNUPS

“It has been a seamless process and pleasure working with the team at Adelaide books. They have been supportive and directive throughout the publication process, and as a first time author they have given me the confidence and platform to publish my work as well as find and connect with my readers.”

Christine D. King, Author of WHAT DIDN’T HAPPEN

"Today's publishing world can easily be influenced by the whims of the marketplace, but Adelaide is more interested in story. In my experience, Adelaide Books has taken on writers' works that don't always fit on the neat little shelves of the usual fare. I can't appreciate enough the willingness the editors have shown to accept and support my books — books that may not be easy to categorize or mainstream—and given them a home."

David W. Berner, author of THINGS BEHIND THE SUN and THE CONSEQUENCE OF STARS

"Adelaide books was incredible professional and so helpful while navigating the publication of my first book. Everyone was willing to work with me to get the cover exactly how I always dreamed it would be. I am so happy to have found a home with Adelaide Books."

Tara Cummins, Author of MOTHER’S INGREDIENTS
