About Tachyon
Founded in 1995, Tachyon Publications LLC is a publisher of smart science fiction, fantasy, and horror, as well as mysteries, memoirs, young adult, and literary fiction. We champion the creative storytelling of authors who inspire us through intelligent prose and imaginative worlds. Our titles are consistently unique, thought-provoking, and entertaining. Tachyon books have received the Nebula, Hugo, World Fantasy, Sturgeon, Mythopoeic, Locus, Grand Prix de l’Imaginaire, Endeavor, Neukom, Sidewise, and Philip K. Dick Awards.
What’s a Tachyon?
A tachyon (tack-ee-on; from the Greek tachus, meaning “speedy”) is a hypothetical elementary subatomic particle that is capable of exceeding the speed of light. Tachyons would violate causality if they were proven to exist, because they could be sent to the past, creating a time paradox (like on every other episode of Star Trek).
This is how we meet our deadlines here at Tachyon—first we miss them, and then we go back and meet them. Tachyons actually travel faster when they are losing energy and slow down when they are gaining energy, which is kind of a metaphor for the publishing industry (we try not to think about that).
Our strong commitment to marketing and publicity includes a team of publicists, a very active social media presence, coverage in major news and genre outlets, and ongoing author appearances and signings at bookstores, trade shows, and genre conventions.
Tachyon’s line is distributed wholesale in the U.S. and Canada by Baker & Taylor Publisher Services, by New South Books in Australia and New Zealand, and by Turnaround in the UK and the rest of the world. Our titles can also be ordered through all major distribution channels. Please contact us if you have any questions.
