Algora Publishingwas founded in 1992 as a voice in the wilderness...well, a thin wail, but we are gaining strength. Many people are out there, thinking things through, asking pertinent questions, working long years to research and investigate their subjects of interest, and writing magnificent pieces... But then what? The “big houses” don't publish their works. We do. Six conglomerates hold 80% of the book publishing industry today and major trade publishers are increasingly unwilling to take risks with new authors. Still Algora is publishing fresh voices and bringing fresh perspectives on important issues of our times. Algora publishes intriguing, serious books on matters of national and international concern in the tradition of independent publishing. We invite our counterparts — independent bookstores and readers — to come to us. Our message is one of enlightenment, social progress and intellectual curiosity.
