Orbit, a division of Hachette Book Group, announced today the launch of Run for It, a new horror imprint. Run for It will become the division’s fourth imprint, alongside the existing Orbit, Redhook, and Orbit Works imprints.
The new imprint will publish Orbit’s current horror authors and will be adding more in due course. The first titles from the new imprint are expected to be published in summer 2025.
“We’ve been steadily increasing the number of horror titles we publish each year, and with so many exciting things happening in the horror genre over recent years it seemed the perfect time to launch a dedicated imprint,” said Tim Holman, President and Publisher of Orbit. “Our goal is to make Run for It a destination imprint for the most exciting writers in the field—and we can’t wait to take the genre into new and possibly terrifying places.”
“Horror has long been a favorite genre of mine and many others on the team, and publishing authors such as Craig DiLouie and Andy Marino, amongst others, has certainly whetted our appetite for publishing more,” said Bradley Englert, Executive Editor at Orbit. “It’s a genre that allows writers to experiment, push boundaries, and test the limits of fiction (and good taste). Dedicating an imprint to horror will allow us to find more new voices, more terrifying stories, and more ways to keep readers up at night.”
