Company History

Silverthought Press (ST) is an independent publishing company based in Northern New York. Paul Hughes (Enemy, An End, Broken: A Plague Journal ) founded ST in January 2001 as a place for writers and fans of speculative fiction to gather, display, and discuss their work, and the site quickly developed into a thriving online community. The print division of Silverthought was formed in 2005. The release of ST's first three publications coincided with the five-year anniversary of the launch of the online division. ST has since published fourteen novels and four collections of short fiction featuring the work of over forty writers. In 2007, Silverthought expanded to include two imprints, Offense Mechanisms and Megan's Closet. In 2010, the company will launch an expansive collaborative fiction site called night.blind.
