Red Wheel Weiser Conari, also known in different periods in its history as RedWheel/Weiser, LLC and Samuel Weiser, Inc., is a book publisher with three imprints: Red Wheel, Weiser Books and Conari Books. It is America's second-largest publisher of occult and New Age books, behind Llewellyn Worldwide, and is also one of the oldest American publishers to concentrate exclusively on that genre. It publishes on average 60-75 new titles per year and maintains a large backlist, partly of books that it originally published, and partly of older public domain rare occult books.

Why Red Wheel? We found the red wheel to be an apt symbol for what we're trying to do. Wheels get you places, move you forward. They're a symbol of both motion and wholeness in just about every culture or religious belief system. Red is, of course, the color of passion and life. We hope—and believe—people will find comfort, inspiration, passion, and answers through our books. Weiser Books has a long history as publishers of esoteric, occult teachings from traditions all around the world and throughout time. Metaphysics and magick, astrology, tarot, Eastern thought, Western mystery traditions. New consciousness, received wisdom, information about how to live now in these changing times. Many of our readers remember the Weiser Bookstore in New York City—a gathering place, a place to discover new ways of looking at and being in the world. From that bookstore, begun by Samuel Weiser in 1926 and specializing in esoteric spirituality, arose the Weiser Books publishing program, begun by Donald Weiser, first to reprint out-of-print classics and then to publish new materials. We publish books for spiritual seekers and students from all walks of life and at all points on the path. Founded in Berkeley, CA in 1987, Conari Press publishes books that aim to nourish the mind, body and spirit. To inspire creativity, laughter, gratitude, forgiveness, and a way of looking at the world that fosters living the examined life—and sharing it with others. And recovery books for those on a journey of clean and sober living. Our bestselling series Random Acts of Kindness is known to millions.

Career Press was founded in 1985 by Ron Fry and is focused on business books. Red Wheel/Weiser acquired Career Press in 2017

Michael Kerber, president and CEO of Red Wheel/Weiser, called the purchase "a major acquisition for us, increasing our publishing program by nearly 50%. We're very impressed with what Ron and his team have done with New Page over the past few years, and those titles complement our Weiser Books and Hampton Roads imprints very nicely. Career Press, with its focus on business, careers and related topics will allow us to expand our publishing reach."

Beginning in January 2018, Red Wheel/Weiser will begin fulfilling Career Press and New Page titles. "Fortunately, we both use Books International for our fulfillment, and they will work with us to ensure a smooth transition of the Career Press accounts and titles into our system," Kerber noted.

As part of the acquisition, long-time Career Press employees Laurie Kelly-Pye and Michael Pye will join Red Wheel as sales director, national accounts, and associate publisher, Career Press, respectively. Ron Fry has agreed to stay on as consultant.
