Wildside Press has selected Diamond Book Distributors (DBD) as the exclusive U.S. and non-exclusive worldwide distributor of the majority of its books to various markets.

Since its founding in 1989 by John and Kim Betancourt, Wildside Press -- with its imprints Prime Books, Cosmos Books, Borgo Press, and Point Blank -- has been one of the industry's leading publishers of science-fiction and fantasy. Specializing in keeping classic books in print, Wildside has a stable of talent that includes multiple award-winner Robert Silverberg, Science Fiction Grandmaster Anne McCaffrey, and Hugo Award-winning editor George Scithers. Wildside is also a source for developing new, award-winning genre titles. The publisher's considerable accomplishments include books that have been nominated for the Hugo Award and won the World Fantasy Award.

“We at Diamond are thrilled to welcome Wildside to our family of publishers,” said Diamond Vice President of Purchasing Bill Schanes. “Its impressive stable of science-fiction and fantasy novels has been a constant in the industry for years.”

“Diamond seems like the perfect fit for Wildside,” said Wildside Press's President and Publisher, John Betancourt. “We are very excited by the new opportunities Diamond's distribution offers and look forward to a long and mutually rewarding relationship.”
