Archway Editions was a publisher based in Brooklyn, New York. It was founded in 2019 by Chris Molnar and Nic Nicoludis, and run with senior editor Naomi Falk[1] as the literary imprint of powerHouse Books, distributed by Simon & Schuster.[2][3]
History
[edit]Archway Editions was created to publish "more off-beat, hard-to-market work — like Ishmael Reed's The Haunting of Lin-Manuel Miranda", as described in Brooklyn Magazine.[4] Their books were excerpted or covered in BOMB,[5] Bookforum,[6] The New York Review of Books,[7] The Paris Review,[8] The New Yorker,[9][10] and more. In 2024, The New York Times wrote that Molly "is in its fourth printing and has become an unexpected hit for Archway Editions, its small Brooklyn-based publisher".[11] In September 2025, the staff posted a letter online announcing that the entire staff stepped down, including Molnar, Nicoludis, Falk, and publicist Mia Risher.[12]
