History and publishing formats
The imprint’s name, 47North, is derived from the latitude coordinate of Seattle, the city where Amazon’s headquarters are located. It produces both novels and shorter works within the realms of fantasy, science fiction, and horror. Certain publications are distributed as Kindle Serials—these are episodic novels delivered incrementally to readers who purchase the ebook once. After all installments are published, these serials are subsequently issued as complete novels available in both electronic and print editions.
