Wildside Press is an independent publishing company in Cabin John, Maryland. It was founded in 1989 by John Betancourt and Kim Betancourt. While the press was originally conceived as a publisher of speculative fiction in both trade and limited editions, its focus has broadened since then, both in content and format.
Its website notes publication of works of mystery, romance, science fiction, fantasy, and non-fiction, as well as downloadable audiobooks and CDs,[1] ebooks, magazines, and physical books.[2] Wildside Press has published approximately 10,000 books through print on demand and traditional means.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
