Welcome  

Dear Friends,

Thanks for visiting my website. I have posted this site in the interest of telling you about new books in world religion, esoterica, and the metaphysical that I am publishing at Tarcher/Penguin, along with news and articles that may interest readers of spiritual literature.  

What might be called the “one spirit” culture in America is entering a new phase of quality and seriousness in the books that it sustains and the events that it hosts. It is my hope that this website will, in some small way, help
support that movement.

Please browse around – I appreciate your visit.

With cheers,

Mitch

Mitch Horowitz is a writer and publisher of many years' experience with a lifelong interest in man’s search for meaning. The editor-in-chief of Tarcher/Penguin in New York, he is the author of Occult America: The Secret History of How Mysticism Shaped Our Nation, coming from Bantam in September 2009.

A frequent writer and speaker on metaphysical themes, he has appeared on The History Channel, The Montel Williams Show, Coast to Coast AM, and American Radio Journal. His writing has appeared in Parabola, Esopus, Fortean Times, Science of Mind, and with the Religion News Service.

At Tarcher/Penguin, Horowitz has published some of today’s leading titles in world religion, esoterica, and the metaphysical. He has also published notable works in philosophy, social thought and politics. His recent titles include Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity by David Lynch; 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl by Daniel Pinchbeck; The American Soul: Rediscovering the Wisdom of the Founders by Jacob Needleman; The Secret Teachings of All Ages: Reader’s Edition by Manly P. Hall; and Weapons of Mass Deception: The Uses of Propaganda in Bush’s War on Iraq by Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber.

The philosopher and religious scholar Jacob Needleman has written: “In over thirty years of writing books and having dealt with numerous editors from many major publishers, I have never met an editor with the spiritual intelligence and intellectual sensitivity to the meaning of religion that Mr. Horowitz has shown...His pioneering work in publishing can serve as a model for others who until now have been somewhat marginalized by what has been termed the ‘secular establishment’.”

Horowitz lives with his wife and two sons in New York City. He can be reached at:
