Big Stories, Bold Voices: Blackstone Launches AWE with Andrews & Wilson

Blackstone Publishing is thrilled to announce the launch of Andrews & Wilson Entertainment’s publishing imprint: AWE. Led by the New York Times bestselling author duo of Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson, AWE will showcase both established authors in the military thriller genre and emerging voices committed to telling stories
focused on service and sacrifice, grit and perseverance, heroism, faith, and moral courage.

AWE titles will spotlight the brave men and women at the tip of the spear, a “mission and team before self” ethos, and will explore geopolitics, cutting-edge science and technology, and the human condition. Featuring military and action thrillers with stories of covert operations and espionage—including some with near-future or speculative elements—our roster proudly includes new works from the talented Don Bentley, Joshua Hood, Jack Stewart, and other fresh voices. You’ll also see new Andrews & Wilson works in the Tier One, Sons of Valor, and Shepherds series, as well as standalone titles, under the AWE banner.

Josh Stanton, CEO of Blackstone Publishing, commented, “I’m excited to share the launch of the AWE (Andrews & Wilson Entertainment) Blackstone Imprint. Working with Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson, New York Times bestselling authors, has been an amazing experience over the years. I’m a big fan of their work, values, and their relentless drive. Together, we’re building an imprint designed to bring forward both established and emerging voices who share those same values and high standards. Our goal is to create impact across publishing and TV/film, with a commitment to quality storytelling at every level.”

“We’re honored and humbled to be offered this incredible opportunity to help support and grow the genre we love. As navy veterans, a “team and mission before self” ethos informs everything we do. Working closely with the amazing team at Blackstone has been an incredible experience, and AWE will take that partnership to the next level. With this team, AWE content is guaranteed not only to entertain and inform, but also to inspire.”—Andrews & Wilson

To celebrate the launch, Andrews & Wilson will be releasing original short stories over the coming months—available in audio and ebook—kicking off with First Ranger this October. These exciting shorts were the inspiration for numerous projects that A&W currently have in development for both television and film with their partners in Hollywood, including Legendary Entertainment, A+E Studios, Fifth Season, Amazon/MGM, Marc Evans Productions, Picturestart, and many others. This is only one of the exciting features in store for AWE, so be sure to stay tuned for more updates.
