Publishing and Distribution connections:
Herald Press and Pandora Press U.S.
By the summer of 1997, Pandora Press, Canada had established cooperative links with two
other Mennonite presses who shared its vision for Anabaptist and Mennonite publishing:
Herald Press, and Pandora Press, U.S.
Herald Press, Scottdale, Pennsylvania, has been the denominational
publisher for the Mennonite Church for many decades. It has a well-deserved reputation as
publisher of high quality Anabaptist-Mennonite books that address issues such as peace and
social concerns, a biblical understanding of Christian faith, the mission of the church,
and the importance of marriage and family.
The publishing missions for Herald
Press and Pandora Press, Canada meshed closely, which led evetually to a limited
coordination of publication efforts.
Most Pandora Press, Canada, titles are
now co-published with Herald Press, and carry a joint publication imprint. In order for a
book to carry this joint imprint, Herald Press first reviews and approves a Pandora Press
manuscript. Pandora Press publications that receive joint imprint approval appear in the
Herald Press catalogue and are marketed and sold by Herald Press, as well as directly by
Pandora Press, Canada.
Pandora Press, U.S. was founded
in 1997 by former Herald Press book editor, Michael A. King. Pandora Press, U.S., located
in Telford, Pennsylvania, publishes theological, scholarly, and popular books of interest
to Anabaptist, Mennonite, Christian, and general readers.
As the similarity in name suggests,
Pandora Press, Canada provided the model for Pandora Press, U.S. The two
"Pandoras" remain independent entities, but they support one another by regular
consultation and coordination of publishing, contracting for each other's services, and
coordinating distribution, promotion and marketing.
