About us
Publishing great books by talented writers and forging connections with readers for the long-term. In 1987, in a small garage in Southern Oregon, Blackstone was born. Founded by Craig and Michelle Black, the early days consisted of a small handful of family members and employees working out of their home, building the business one cassette tape at a time. With a fresh perspective on the reading experience, Craig and Michelle, along with their trusted team, found new and innovative methods to not only produce and distribute audiobooks, but also pioneered creative ways to collaborate with publishers, booksellers, and the audiobook listening community. 2017 marked Blackstone’s 30th anniversary, and the company continues to grow, innovate, and further the ascendancy of the overall audiobook business. To date, we've produced over 12,000 audiobooks, releasing 100+ new titles each month. Our new print publishing venture is built upon this foundation. Our goal is to publish groundbreaking books (fiction and nonfiction) by talented writers, and to forge long- term connections with readers, booksellers, librarians, and the overall publishing community. We’re thrilled to be working with bestselling authors like P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast, Shelley Shepard Gray, Cory Doctorow and more to publish print books, e-books, and audiobooks, furthering our commitment to bringing quality, entertaining stories to as many people as possible, in the most creative and innovative ways imaginable.

Holey money, it’s time for another #BlackstoneShowcase, book lovers!🕳️🚀🌟The third installment in the quirky, creepy, hilarious #BonkersSeries from #1 New York Times bestselling author Patrick Carman, ESCAPE FROM THE DUNGEONS OF SNERBVILLE launches September 24th, 2024! Barker Mifflin is back! Sort of. He fell into a hole—or more accurately, he rode a forty-foot chicken down into the depths of Snerbville. Will he be lost there forever, or will he finally solve the mystery behind Colossal Chemistry? With the help of his new pal, Tilda Huxley—who happens to be the size of a Barbie Doll, thanks to scientific experiments gone wrong—he might just have a shot at finding out the real reason everyone in his hometown is so tight-lipped about its secrets. But first he has to avoid getting shrunk himself, or worse, getting discovered by certain fuzzy creatures with a ferocious appetite for garbage … or the next best thing. 🪁Perfect for fans of R.L. Stine and Dave Barry, preorder the middle grade must-read below!🪁 https://lnkd.in/dFjRHEhC . . . . . #PatrickCarman #EscapefromtheDungeonsofSnerbville #upcomingrelease #2024books #BlackstoneBookReveal #BlackstoneBooks #BlackstonePublishing #BlackstoneAudio #kidslit #childrensbookillustration #childrensbooks #middlegradebooks #childrensfantasy #fantasybooksforkids #bookcoverart #bookcoverreveal #middlegradebooksuggestions #middlegrade #middlegradefiction #middlegradefantasy #middlegradelit #middlegradereads #middlegradereaders

Here to reboot your #TBR like never before is today’s #pubday for GRAND THEFT AI by James Cox (narrated by the legendary Troy Baker)! 🕹️✨🤖 _____________ Dear Readers, I’ve been a writer-director in Hollywood forever. I was so burnt off my last picture, that after the smoke settled … I attacked the page. Broken keyboards. Furious writing. All-nighters. Saw the sunrise seven days in a row. It wasn’t in screenplay format—I had no idea what format this was. It wasn’t true crime—at least, nothing that’d happened yet. But I was possessed. Building up for months, if not years, suddenly some damn burst, and this whole world exploded—a seamy, dystopian, technology-crazed future with bots, and brain-computer-interfaces, and a government that’s everywhere, beginning and ending in your head. When I was done, 50 pages of short stories set in the coming Golden Age of AI would evolve into a screenplay, then a novella, a manuscript and finally my debut novel— GRAND THEFT AI. The Heist of the Century goes down in the fall of an 2051. A misfit gang of cyber-criminals rally to take down the ultimate kingpin. But at its heart is a love story between two damaged, battle-scarred souls who come together to find redemption and survive. GRAND THEFT AI is the best thing I’ve ever done—and it’s just beginning. Whether you read cyberpunk or not, I promise you—you have never read anything like this. A fusion of Blade Runner with The Matrix, in a voice as radical as Trainspotting. ENJOY! - James Cox . . 👇Embark on the ultimate cyberpunk adventure below.👇 Amazon: https://bit.ly/45or00H B&N: https://bit.ly/3ZMrBbk IndieBound: https://bit.ly/45rI6eh Apple: https://apple.co/49lFLV5. . . #GrandTheftAI #CyberHeist #CyberpunkAdventure #JamesCox #TroyBaker #FuturisticThriller #2024books #dystopianbooks #cyberpunk #cyberspace #sffbooks #scifibooks #TroyBakeredit #actionadventurebooks #mysterybooks #scifimystery #BlackstoneBooks #BlackstonePublishing #BlackstoneAudio #publicationday #dystopianscifi

Woof you believe it’s already the #pubday for the breakneck #RickCarter series debut THE RECRUITER by Gregg Podolski?🐾😲📘Paws to peep Gregg’s Dear Readers letter + score details on how you can join his July-September in-person book tour! _____________ Dear Readers, It is with tremendous joy that I bestow upon you, the literary masses, my debut novel, THE RECRUITER. Called "perhaps the single greatest collection of words ever committed to paper" by no less than my own mother, it has bypassed both the short and long lists and already been awarded the Pulitzer Prize. Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon have each named it their "Final Book Club Selection Ever," as they simply feel that after a book has set the bar this high, it would be pointless to try to pick a successor. Hollywood has come calling, but I'm torn between allowing it to become a film or a Broadway musical. Perhaps both. And just yesterday, the Nobel committee reached out to ask if I'd rather receive the award for Literature or Peace, since they feel my novel could be the first thing that truly unites all of humanity. Okay, so MOST of that is a lie. (My Mom does like the book, but even she would never be that over-the-top). It was sure fun to write, though, which is the main reason I do what I do. My debut novel, about a recruiter for the criminal underworld who needs to step out of his comfort zone and become a hero to save his family from a mess he created, will not change the world. And I'm pretty sure neither Oprah or Reese will ever recommend it as anything other than a coaster. But it does have snappy dialogue, cool action scenes, and tells what I believe is a very relatable tale of a man who made some epically bad choices and is trying to set at least some of them right. Oh, and it's funny. Because if there's one thing we could always use more of, it's a few good laughs. So pick up a copy. If not for you, then do it for your dog. As you can see from the picture, it also makes a great canine cuddle companion. Or a chew toy. It really doesn't matter to me, as long as the royalty checks clear. Appreciate you all. Happy reading! —Gregg . . 📕Not in NY/NJ/DE?
