ENC Press (Emperor's New Clothes Press) is a small, independent publishing house founded in 2003, in Hoboken, New Jersey, by New York City editor and writer Olga Gardner Galvin. It exclusively publishes full-length novels.
ENC Press's business model involves distributing its titles through its website and independent bookstores. It forgoes dealing with major chains or online distributors in favor of paying its authors higher royalties. Its stated goal is to keep its titles in print regardless of their performance in the marketplace. The company's motto is "Tipping sacred cows since 2003".
ENC Press launched in July 2003 with four titles: the classic dystopia We, by Yevgheniy Zamyatin, new "XXI-century literary translation" by Linda S. Farne; Vodka for Breakfast, a literary novel by David Gurevich; Don't Call It "Virtual", a futuristic satirical utopia by Beth Elliott; and The Alphabet Challenge, a futuristic social satire by Olga Gardner Galvin. It was followed in 2003 by Diary of a XX-century Elizabethan Poet, a comedy of mores by Mark Mandell, illustrated by Katrina Hinton-Cooper.
In 2004, ENC Press published two geopolitical novels: Season of Ash by Justin Bryant, set in South Africa, and Exit Only by Liam Bracken, set in Saudi Arabia. It also published a satire Devil Jazz, by Canadian author Craig Forgrave, as well as two British humor novels: Moon Beaver, by Andrew Hook, and Terror from Beyond Middle England, by Sarah Crabtree. Later that year, the literary novel Cherry Whip, by Michael Antman, came out.
