Eksmo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eksmo (Russian: Эксмо) is one of the largest publishing houses in Russia.

Established in 1991 as small book-selling company, they gradually developed into a major player on the Russian market, discovering and developing detective novel authors such as Darya Dontsova and Alexandra Marinina, as well as publishing works by Tatyana Tolstaya and Lyudmila Ulitskaya, science fiction by Vasily Golovachev and Nick Perumov.

Eksmo was the first to familiarise the Russian reader with Artemis Fowl, a series of children's books by Irish writer Eoin Colfer. They also publish Dmitri Yemets' Harry Potter-derived Tanya Grotter series.

The Moscow-based publishing house is home to many writers living outside of Russia, including in the United States, Austria and Germany.

Eksmo works with Russian author Viktor Pelevin.
