Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill (Firm)

Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, Inc., is a publishing house incorporated in 1982 by University of North Carolina English professor Louis Rubin, Jr., and Shannon Ravenel, a St. Louis fiction editor who had been one of Rubin's creative writing students. The new company's purpose has been to publish non-fiction and literary fiction of unpublished young writers. By 1993, Algonquin had published 178 books. In 1989, Algonquin was acquired by the Workman Publishing Company of New York City. Algonquin retains editorial control over works of fiction while Workman must approve non-fiction books. In 1990, Rubin turned over control of Algonquin to his son Robert and to Ravenel.
