Milkweed Editions was founded in Minnesota in 1979 by Emilie Buchwald and R.W. Scholes. Today, we are one of the nation's leading independent, nonprofit literary publishers. Each year, we release twelve to twenty titles in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. We are also one of several nonprofit literary presses that publish children's literature. In addition, much of our nonfiction is part of a program called The World As Home, which features titles that explore our relationship with the natural world.
Milkweed Editions publishes with the intention of making a humane impact on society, in the belief that literature is a transformative art uniquely able to convey the essential experiences of the human heart and spirit. To that end, Milkweed publishes distinctive voices of literary merit in handsomely designed, visually dynamic books, exploring the ethical, cultural, and esthetic issues that free societies need continually to address.
