History
History
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. Their books were excerpted or covered in BOMB, Bookforum, The New York Review of Books, The Paris Review, The New Yorker, and more. In 2024, The New York Times wrote that Blake Butler’s Molly "is in its fourth printing and has become an unexpected hit for Archway Editions, its small Brooklyn-based publisher". In September 2025, the staff posted a letter online announcing that the entire staff stepped down, including Molnar, Nicoludis, Falk, and publicist Mia Risher. In 2026 the staff announced a new imprint, Enigma Editions, distributed by Penguin Random House through MIT Press. The first slate of authors from Enigma will include Ishmael Reed, Linda Yablonsky, and Carlos Reygadas.
