Description:
Founder Sasha Alyson launched Alyson Books in Boston, Massachusetts in 1980. There he published a wide array of groundbreaking LGBT titles—the children’s books Heather Has Two Mommies and Daddy’s New Roommate; the first black gay anthologies In the Life and Brother to Brother; and the S/M classics Coming to Power and Leatherfolk, for example—until 1992, when he sold the press to Liberation Publications. In the years that followed Alyson relocated to Los Angeles, then later settled in New York City, publishing the most talked-about books by and for LGBT readers. Today under the ownership of Here Media, a Los Angeles, California-based entertainment company that also owns The Advocate, Out, Here! TV, and Gay.com, among other media properties, Alyson continues to serve and inspire readers as the premiere publisher of LGBT literature.
