- Melville_House_Publishing abstract "Melville House Publishing is an independent publisher of literary fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. The company was founded in 2001 by the husband and wife team of Dennis Loy Johnson and Valerie Merians in Hoboken, New Jersey, a location Johnson jokingly called "the Left Bank" of New York City. In 2007, they were named by the Association of American Publishers as the winner of the 2007 Miriam Bass Award for Creativity in Independent Publishing, popularly known as the "indie publisher of the year" award.Melville House has published a variety of authors including Mary MacLane, Andre Schiffrin, Celia Farber, Stephen Dixon, Frank O'Connor, Régis Debray, Renata Adler, Mark Danner, Randall Kenan, Lewis Lapham, French (then-)Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, T Cooper, Tao Lin, Lee Rourke and others. The company has been adept at attracting well-known authors away from larger establishment presses. In late 2007, Johnson announced the company had lured Nobel Prize-winner Imre Kertesz away from his long-time publisher, Knopf, with a three book deal. Soon after, he announced Paul Berman had left Norton to publish with Melville House. The company is particularly noted for its books of leftist political reportage, French titles in translation, and avant-garde fiction. Among its most notable books are its 2003 bestseller Who Killed Daniel Pearl?, by Bernard-Henri Lévy, the first book to disclose the illegal trading of nuclear technology by U.S. ally Pakistan, and Torture Taxi, by Trevor Paglen and A.C. Thompson, the first book on the CIA's rendition program. More recently, Melville House published Collusion, by Carlo Bonini, the Italian journalist who uncovered the "Niger-gate" hoax behind the U.S. justification for going to war in Iraq; and Learning to Live Finally, the final book by Jacques Derrida.Melville House has also gained a reputation for its attention to book design, and has won several AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Artist) awards for its cover and interior designs. Unlike most small publishers, Melville House has an in-house designer. Until 2007, Dave Konopka designed all of the company's books. He left Melville House when his band, Battles, grew in popularity. Currently, the position is held by the design team of Kelly Blair and Carol Hayes.The rapid rise of the company has been notable in that neither Johnson or Merians had any background in publishing. Johnson was a short story writer who had won numerous awards including a Pushcart Prize, but had never published a book; he was probably best known for founding one of the earliest book blogs, MobyLives.com. Merians was a sculptor who showed her work at several notable New York galleries, including the Margaret Thatcher Gallery in Chelsea, and the Pierogi Gallery in Brooklyn, and although she studied poetry at the Iowa Writers Workshop, her work, too, had never been collected in a book. In an early interview, Merians told The New York Times that the company was formed as an impromptu reaction to the political climate of the moment that she thought would amount to no more than "an out-of-the-back-of-the-car kind of thing." In 2008 Melville House moved to DUMBO, Brooklyn, to a location that combines a glass-wall bookstore with their offices, which are behind revolving bookshelves. The opening was on January 19, 2008.".
