COMPANY PROFILES
Each company has a distinct identity and product line. Some houses are very commercial; others are very literary. Some are small and independently owned; others have hundreds of employees and are part of huge corporations. Some are driven by profit, while others are not-for-profit and operate primarily to contribute to our culture. Some specialize in fiction, while others are experts in an academic discipline. Some target adults; others cater to children.
To find the best fit, you may want to match your personal goals and talents with the goals and talents of the publishing house. (See also: Types of Publishing)

| Company Name: |
THE EXPERIMENT |
| Company Location(s): |
New York, NY |
| Books per Year: |
15-20 |
| Description: |
Established in 2009, The Experiment develops and publishes a wide range of ground-breaking helpful non-fiction in the areas of health, diet, cookbooks with a healthy focus, fitness, psychology, relationships, self-help, parenting, and sexuality. We also publish practical books grounded in scientific discovery—and especially in neuroscience and the environment.
The Experiment’s three principals are longtime industry veterans with a combined 75+ years of experience in all aspects of the publishing business. We are called The Experiment because (a) the publication of every book is a test of new ideas; and (b) at a time when publishing is dominated by a few large companies and finding its way in an ever-more digitally oriented world, publishing books on an intimate scale, although once the norm, more than ever requires an attentiveness to change and an openness about new ways of doing business. |
