Our Story 

Founded in 1987 by Craig and Michelle Black, Blackstone Publishing started in a small garage where a handful of family members and employees worked to build their audiobook business one cassette tape at a time. A truly independent, privately owned publisher with offices on both coasts, Blackstone is home to a vibrant and eclectic community of storytellers and story lovers. Today, Blackstone has firmly positioned itself as one of America’s fastest-growing and respected publishing houses, with multiple New York Times bestsellers, Grammy Award–winning audio productions, and books placed on the New York Times Best Books of the Year list. Blackstone is committed to bringing entertaining stories to as many people as possible and to forging long-term connections with the literary community.
