About Histria Books

Our Story

Histria was an ancient Black Sea port near the mouth of the Danube — a crossroads of culture, commerce, and ideas that shaped the classical world. It’s a legacy we set out to honor when we founded the company in 2017.

Histria Books was built on a simple conviction: that scholarly rigor and great storytelling belong on the same shelf. Early on, we acquired the Center for Romanian Studies, an academic press established in 1996, and built on its foundation with a growing family of imprints for literary fiction, romance, children’s books, science fiction and fantasy, Christian titles, history, and more.

Today, Histria Books publishes across twelve imprints. Our titles reach readers in North America through Simon & Schuster Publisher Services and throughout the rest of the world through our sister company, Unified Book Distribution. Every book we release carries the same commitment: careful editing, beautiful design, and the belief that a good book deserves to find its readers.
