TWELVE was established in August 2005 with the objective of publishing no more than one book per month. We strive to publish
the singular book, by authors who have a unique perspective and compelling authority. Works that explain our culture; that
illuminate, inspire, provoke, and entertain. We seek to establish communities of conversation surrounding our books. Talented
authors deserve attention not only from publishers, but from readers as well. To sell the book is only the beginning of our
mission. To build avid audiences of readers who are enriched by these works—that is our ultimate purpose.
