Dutton will join the digital imprint
movement later this summer by relaunching its Dutton Guilt-Edged Mysteries line, which published
hardboiled and noir titles from 1947 to 1956, as an ebook-only venture. The new
program, overseen by Dutton editor-in-chief Ben Sevier, will publish stories
and novellas ranging between 10,000 and 50,000 words on a monthly basis and
will launch with NPR news editor Krishnadev Calamur’s debut novella Murder in
Mumbai.
"The re-launch of Dutton Guilt-Edged
Mysteries is a fitting tribute to Mickey Spillane, one of the 20th century’s
bestselling and most beloved novelists," Sevier said in a statement. The
new imprint is built to find fresh voices in crime fiction and publish them
using distinctly 21st century techniques." The imprint says it will
publish one title annually from Book Country's community of writers.
In other eNews, HarperOne is mining its
backlist for digital shorts that will be priced at $1.99 under the HarperOne Selects
banner.
