Archway Editions was a publisher based in Brooklyn, New York. It was founded in 2019 by Chris Molnar and Nic Nicoludis, and run with senior editor Naomi Falk[1] as the literary imprint of powerHouse Books, distributed by Simon & Schuster[2][3].
History
[edit]Archway Editions was created to publish "more off-beat, hard-to-market work — like Ishmael Reed’s The Haunting of Lin-Manuel Miranda", as described in Brooklyn Magazine[4]. Their books were excerpted or covered in BOMB[5], Bookforum[6], The New York Review of Books[7], The Paris Review[8], The New Yorker[9][10], and more. In 2024, The New York Times wrote that Molly "is in its fourth printing and has become an unexpected hit for Archway Editions, its small Brooklyn-based publisher"[11]. In September 2025, the staff posted a letter online announcing that the entire staff stepped down, including Molnar, Nicoludis, Falk, and publicist Mia Risher[12].
