Biographical or Historical Information

Circlet Press was founded by Cecilia Tan in 1992 and resides in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This unique publishing house specializes in science fiction and fantasy erotica that spans across the gender and sexuality spectrum, creating a niche for alternate sexuality stories that were unheard of nearly two decades ago. This publishing house paved the way for erotic fiction and the market has since seen an influx of such stories, which have become hugely popular. Circlet Press's books have been nominated for a number of awards, including the Independent Press Awards, Benjamin Franklin Awards, the Spectrum Awards, and the Lambda Literary Awards.
