Founded in 1986 by Cecile Engel and Lori Milken, Delphinium Books is committed to publishing original, important voices, be it fiction or non-fiction, in contemporary society. Our purpose is to recognize excellence in writing, and thereby bring it to public attention. The publishing house’s first effort, Delphinium Blossoms, an anthology featuring a broad array of authors, from E.L. Doctorow, Grace Paley and Russell Banks to numerous first-time writers, established Delphinium’s reputation as a home for quality writing.
