Publishing

New Houses.

Writers require publication, and publishers need books. The 1920s were a golden era for American writing and publishing. During the decade twenty influential trade publishing houses and seven university presses were launched. (An influential publisher is one that publishes significant authors and widely read books, good or bad; the longevity of the imprint is also a factor in its influence.) More enduring major American houses were founded during the 1920s than in any other decade.
