We are thrilled to announce the launch of AUWA Books (@auwabooks), an imprint directed by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, the celebrated Academy Award‒winning filmmaker, musician, DJ, producer, director, culinary entrepreneur, and New York Times bestselling author.
The New York Times published a story about the new imprint today. “With the rapid influx of death happening with Black creators and no one to pass the recipes down I wanted to bring action to a dire situation,” Questlove said. “I’m in a phase of my life where I’m trying to rebuild the world I never had myself as a kid,” he said. “Through this imprint, I’m offering a platform.” The imprint’s first book will be published in October with the autobiography by the iconic musician, Sly Stone.
Sean McDonald, SVP and Publisher of MCD, says: “I am thrilled MCD is embarking on this imprint with Questlove and the AUWA team. There is no better, more exciting, more mind-expanding intelligence to guide a new publishing venture that can push the boundaries of what we might think to expect from a literary imprint, and I think the roster we've begun to assemble for AUWA—starting with the memoir of the elusive, iconic Sly Stone this October—already shows how thrilling this is going to be.”
Mitzi Angel, President and Publisher of FSG, says: “We are embarking on this new imprint with Questlove with great excitement. Questlove’s vision and many talents will add tremendously to our list, and we can’t wait to publish our first book on the AUWA imprint with Questlove this fall, Sly Stone’s much-anticipated memoir, Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin).”

“A rare quiet thriller, meticulously crafted by Carol Bensimon as if it deserves its own wing in a natural history museum, with one display depicting the crimes from a childhood, another a present-day failing relationship, and another the lonely life of an immigrant taxidermist.”
—Fernando A. Flores, author of BROTHER BRONTË
