Avery Publishing is a book publishing imprint of the Penguin Group, headquartered in New York City, in the United States.
Description
Avery was founded as an independent publisher in 1976 by childhood friends Rudy Shur and Lee Solomon.[1][2][3] It was purchased by Penguin in 1999.[4][5] Their offices were located at one time in Garden City, New York, home to other publisher's offices.[1][6]
Penguin merged the Gotham Books and Hudson Street Press imprints into Avery in 2015.[7]
As of 2014, the president was veteran publisher William Shinker.[8]
Etymology
The name of Avery Publishing is a nod to Avery Avenue in Flushing, Queens – the street on which Shur and Solomon grew up.[1][6]
