Skyhorse Publishing, one of the fastest-growing independent book publishers in the United States, was launched in September 2006 by Tony Lyons, former president and publisher of the Lyons Press. The company has had forty-eight New York Times bestsellers and has over 7,000 titles in print. Skyhorse is dedicated to publishing books that make people’s lives better, whether that means teaching them a hobby, bringing them a unique and important story, or encouraging them to fight against injustices, conspiracies, or abuses of power, maintains a firm stance against censorship, and aims to break down the increasingly extreme echo chambers in mainstream media. *** Praise for Skyhorse Publishing *** “In the era of corporate dominated mainstream media and feckless herd reporting, Skyhorse's willingness to tackle tough issues that other publishers won't touch has made it a critical cog in our democracy.” –Robert F. Kennedy Jr., New York Times bestselling author “I can’t begin to tell you how gratifying it is to have such enthusiasm and great support from everyone at Skyhorse.” –Terry Goodkind, New York Times bestselling author “My first series became a New York Times bestselling children’s series, and that would have never happened without Skyhorse. . . . It’s a great feeling, having them at my side.” –Mark Cheverton, New York Times bestselling author “It has been a pleasure watching Skyhorse Publishing develop into one of the largest and fastest-growing independent publishers over the last decade...
