Finding your VOICE

Hyperion’s VOICE is a new imprint of books for women at the center of life—smart, educated, busy, curious, seasoned women for whom reading is a passion.  An imprint by and for women—as women see themselves.

Ellen Archer,  currently the publisher of Hyperion Books, has had a successful career of more than 20 years in the publishing world.  She decided she wanted to to complement Hyperion’s list with a new imprint that would publish a dozen books a year, focusing on a broad variety of fiction and nonfiction tailored to women in their mid-thirties and older.  Topics would cover those areas and experiences which would  resonate with the readers over the course of their lives – family, career, relationships, work-life balance, as well as their dreams.   Archer decided to partner with Pamela Dorman, a longtime executive editor at Viking Penguin who had a successful track record of bestsellers. They decided there was definitely a need for books that appealed to the influential demographic of women who had the time and resources to buy books that shared their “voice.” 

VOICE’s titles include both fiction and non-fiction to appeal to women who want to read about the positives as well as the negatives from women who have emerged or are emerging as role models—strong women doing things that excite, scare, and thrill them—women who are happy and fulfilled, and who continue to push the envelope.  VOICE’s goal is to grow a list of books that will be  enriching, entertaining, and provocative. VOICE also includes an interactive website, a blog, and advisory councils both of women in the professional sphere and respected booksellers.
