Godine is a New England–based independent book publisher, known for its beautifully published and carefully selected books,[1] primarily nonfiction, literary fiction, and poetry.
The company was founded in 1970 by David R. Godine who acted as publisher until his retirement in 2019. Leadership of the company was then assumed by its new president, Will Thorndike.[2]
In March 2020, as part of a relaunch of the company, Godine joined Two Rivers Distribution, an Ingram brand, for sales of its titles to readers worldwide.[3] While maintaining its core principles and high standards, Godine also refocused its editorial direction and now publishes books for a larger and more diverse audience of readers.[4]
