About Avon Publishing

Avon Books was founded by the American News Corporation in 1941 as a competitor of Pocket Books. They published diverse genres initially. They entered the field of romance with Kathleen Woodiwiss's 1972 novel The Flame and the Flower, after which they were a powerhouse in the industry. After Newscorp purchased Hearst's publishing division and merged with Harper Collins in 1999, Avon focused exclusively on romance. HarperCollins is the owner of Avon along with Harlequin.

Initially, Avon published digest-sized paperbacks (similar to today's Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine) in series such as Avon Western Reader and Avon Science Fiction Reader. They also published a few comic books. Joseph Meyers hired a staff of highly experienced and well-connected editors which included Donald A. Wollheim, his science fiction and fantasy tales have been highly prized by collectors.

As a paperback publisher Avon was one of the first to realize that women were a huge and underserved market for its books. The sales representatives of Avon were generally thought to be middle-class women. As such, Avon tried to appeal to women with books that were both engaging and stimulating.

Avon produced a line that featured contemporary works by authors that aren't well-represented on the paperback market. Avon Bard featured translated works by Latin American authors like Marcio Souza, Joao Guimaraes Rose and others. In 1987, the Avon Bard imprint was merged with the more well-established Avon Camelot & Discus imprints.

After the merger, Avon largely dropped its non-romance hardcovers and papers, moving those to its sister company Morrow, while focusing solely on romance. The result is that Avon's books are less expensive than other publishers', and the company has built its reputation on quality and 2023 the value they offer.

While Avon has had its many scandals, such as lawsuits brought by victims of sexual harassment, the business is still profitable and is a major player in e-commerce marketplace. Avon has also committed to social responsibility by supporting breast cancer research and domestic violence programs.

About Avon Fiction

Avon Books began life in 1941 as a publisher of paperbacks and is among the oldest in the world. The company was originally owned by the American News Corporation, the publisher was established to serve as a rival to Pocket Books. Contrary to the more literary Pocket series and the more literary Pocket Books, the Avon pocket-size paperbacks in the early years focused on popular appeal and included ghost stories, sexually provocative love stories, and fantasy novels. The company was purchased by Hearst in 1959.

The 1970s were a decade of romance for Avon with multiple blockbuster titles that made it onto bestseller lists. Kathleen Woodiwiss’ Shanna spent more than 33 weeks on the bestseller list. It was followed by sexy romances from newcomers Rosemary Rogers, and Elizabeth Lowell. Avon's sexy novels featured men with heaving breasts on their covers.

Later on, Avon would publish a special romance every month that was labeled as an "Avon Romance Treasure." The book had a respectable front cover and the phrase "clinch" printed on the back of the book. Popular authors such as Brenda Joyce and Susan Wiggs were published under this banner.

After the digital age was exploding, Avon launched a special electronic book edition every month that was designated as an "Avon Impulse" title. The e-books could be purchased for purchase through all major online retailers. The imprint also made it simple for customers to purchase physical copies of the book, thanks to printing-on-demand technology that produced hardcovers.

Today, Avon is an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. Avon Impulse, a digital imprint, has been launched to help create new talent in the e-book industry. Avon Impulse launches next week with a short story in digital format from author Katherine Ashe, and multiple titles are planned each month. The ebooks will be available on all major e-tailers, and readers can purchase them as easily as they do when purchasing ebooks on Amazon, B&N and others. The ebooks will be offered both in Kindle and Nook format.

About Avon Non-Fiction

Avon Publications was founded in 1941 as a paperback publishing company. It is credited as being the first to publish historical romances. HarperCollins today, the imprint, publishes the best commercial fiction.

As of the year 2010 Avon is publishing mostly romance novels in both mass market paperbacks as well as in hardcover editions. Avon's books cover a variety of genres and include some of the most renowned authors in historical and contemporary fiction.

A fantastic prequel book for the character of Kerr Avon in Blake's 7 (BBC sci-fi from the 1980's). The author does a great job of imitating the bantering dialogue style that is so popular in the series. There are also plenty of sexy moments to keep the reader interested. However this book is intended for Blake's 7 fans and not for anyone else.

Few historians have been as kind to corporations as Manko has been to Avon and she has shown how even a successful company can be plagued by blind spots, slow responses poor decisions and bad management. Her meticulous research and astute understanding of business operations will be an unexpected surprise to the majority of readers.

It's hard to classify the importance of Avon in the evolution of the romance genre, but it is definitely up there with Mills & Boon and 2023 Harlequin. They invented the bodice ripper and created a group of authors which included Kathleen Woodiwiss, Rosemary Rogers and a host of others. The covers became more sexually explicit and the heroines experienced more sexual encounters than just sleeping with their hero.

Avon also published a variety of science fiction and fantasy. The publication was in digest format - roughly the size and form of a modern short stories magazine - which made them very popular. Some of them are sought-after by collectors.

The company produced a number of reprints from classics and also original works by contemporary authors, and also some by more well-known writers of the past. The company also published a wide range of books for children, but that has decreased in recent years. These were typically spooky stories or fairytales that carried moral messages. However, some were just to entertain.
