The Early Years

In 1807, Charles Wiley, then 25 years old, opened a small printing shop at 6 Reade Street in lower Manhattan, New York City. During the next four years, he worked with other printers, primarily Isaac Riley, printing and publishing law books. In 1812, "C. Wiley, Printer" appeared for the first time on the title pages of several legal works.

Two years later, Charles Wiley formed a printing, publishing, and bookselling partnership with Cornelius Van Winkle, a noted printer, located at 3 Wall Street. At this site Wiley also hosted the "Den," a meeting place for writers such as James Fenimore Cooper and William Cullen Bryant that foreshadowed the Greenwich Village coffee houses of the 1950s. Wiley and Van Winkle ended their partnership in 1820, when Charles chose to focus on publishing and bookselling and began hiring others to do his printing. He published James Fenimore Cooper's The Spy in 1821 and helped to launch this first American novelist's career. Wiley also published works by Richard Henry Dana, Washington Irving, and many other writers.

When Charles Wiley died in 1826, his son John, then age 18, took over the family business. Over the next 65 years, he continued as a bookseller and publisher, promoting American and European authors. In 1836, he hired George Putnam as a junior partner; together they achieved prominence publishing such works as Herman Melville's Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life, Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven, and Nathaniel Hawthorne's Mosses from an Old Manse. They published the works of European writers such as Hans Christian Andersen, Victor Hugo, Charles Dickens, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

The company has been honored on several occasions for its sustained financial success and exceptional culture. In both 2007 and 2008, Wiley was named to the Forbes magazine's list of the "400 Best Big Companies in America." In 2007, Book Business magazine cited Wiley as "One of the 20 Best Book Publishing Companies to Work For." In 2006, Standard and Poor's added Wiley to its MidCap 400 Index. For two consecutive years, 2006 and 2005, FORTUNE magazine named Wiley one of the "100 Best Companies to Work For." Wiley Canada was named to Canadian Business magazine's 2006 list of "Best Workplaces in Canada," and Wiley Australia has received the Australian government's "Employer of Choice for Women" citation every year since its inception in 2001. In 2004, Wiley was named to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's "Best Workplaces for Commuters" list. Working Mother magazine in 2003 listed Wiley as one of the "100 Best Companies for Working Mothers", and that same year, the company received the Enterprise Award from the New Jersey Business & Industry Association in recognition of its contribution to the state's economic growth. In 1998, Wiley was selected as one of the "most respected companies," with a "strong and well thought out strategy," by the Financial Times in a global survey of Chief Executive Officers. Wiley was the only publisher on a list that included such global brand names as General Electric, Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Intel, and Proctor & Gamble.

The company’s authors have been honored as well. Wiley and its acquired companies have published the works of more than 350 Nobel laureates in all categories: Literature, Economics, Physiology/Medicine, Physics, Chemistry, and Peace.

For over 200 years, Wiley has grown and evolved, taking pride in its ability to meet the changing needs of its customers. The company's current migration to the digital world is the latest example of this kind of transformation. Given Wiley's solid financial position, experienced leadership team, talented workforce, and proven strategies for generating results, the years ahead promise to bring exciting opportunities for continued growth and prosperity. Wiley is a far cry from Charles Wiley's small printing shop, but the company's commitment to quality and to serving the needs of its customers has not changed since 1807.
