OUR MISSION

Chronicle Prism was founded in 2018 to expand the range of content that Chronicle Books publishes. A Chronicle Prism book challenges perspective, nurtures understanding, and deepens the conversation and practice of our lives. Our select list of nonfiction is rooted in (but not limited to) the categories of health and wellness, self-help, creative business, science, spirituality, and social change. Our authors are thought leaders and influencers who benefit from our collaborative approach to publishing, signature design and production, and extensive distribution reach.
