Publishing inquiries
A practical, thoughtful path for Southern writers and historians who are ready to discuss a book project.
Southern stories that deserve a lasting form.
Pineridge Press considers Southern-themed nonfiction, fiction, and histories. We are particularly interested in local and family histories, researched regional studies, and fiction rooted in the people, places, and culture of the South.
The press was founded in part to help independent Southern authors, local historians, and first-time writers who have meaningful work but need a clearer path from manuscript to finished book.
What to send
- A brief description of the project and its intended audience.
- A short author biography.
- An estimated manuscript length and expected completion date.
- A table of contents, if available.
- One representative sample chapter or excerpt.
What happens next
Every inquiry is considered for fit with the press’s focus and current publishing capacity. A conversation about a project is not a promise of publication, but it is a good first step toward deciding whether Pineridge Press is the right partner.
