Harbor Identity System
Publishing Imprints
The parent group represents the harbor as a whole. Each imprint occupies a distinct place within it, with a clear audience, purpose, and shared responsibility to the parent institution.
Adult imprint
Black Anchor Publishing
Black Anchor Publishing is the adult publishing imprint of Black Anchor Publishing Group. It may publish dark fiction, historical horror, gothic work, speculative fiction, and other adult titles approved through the publication process.
Young adult and teen imprint
Black Wharf Press
Black Wharf Press serves teen-facing fiction, including adventure, suspense, historical fiction, speculative fiction, horror, and coming-of-age work written for older youth audiences.
This imprint keeps young adult and teen titles distinct from both the adult catalog and the children's catalog.
