History
Kimani Press was formed by Harlequin Enterprises in December 2005, with the purchase of the Arabesque, Sepia and New Spirit imprints from BET Books. Arabesque is the first line of original African-American romance novels from a major publishing house, and will publish two single-titles each month. The Sepia imprint features commercial women’s fiction, and New Spirit serves the growing African-American inspirational marketplace with both fiction and non-fiction releases.
In July 2006, Harlequin launched Kimani Romance, the only African-American series imprint in the marketplace today, with four new releases each month. In February 2007, Kimani TRU was launched targeting a young-adult, multi-cultural audience with one new release each month.
Since 2005, Kimani Press novels have been available in eBook format, a portable downloaded alternative to the standard paperback.
