Charles Scribner's Sons
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Scribner's Sons is a publisher that was founded in 1846 at the Brick Church Chapel on New York's Park Row. The firm published Scribner's Magazine for many years. Scribner's is well known for publishing Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Kurt Vonnegut, Robert A. Heinlein, and Thomas Wolfe. More recently, several Scribner titles and authors have garnered Pulitzer Prizes, National Book Awards and other merits. In 1978 the company merged with Atheneum and became The Scribner's Book Companies, which in turn was merged into Macmillan in 1984. Simon & Schuster bought Macmillan in 1994, and the imprint is now simply "Scribner."
