About ForeEdge

A trade imprint with room to roam.

ForeEdge launched in 2014 as a home for accessible, carefully researched books aimed at a national general-interest audience. Its subjects range from history and politics to music, sport, biography, and other stories that connect scholarship with everyday curiosity.

The name refers to the front edge of a book, opposite the spine: the part that turns outward as a reader opens a new world.
