ABOUT PRESS 53
Press 53 is a small independent publisher of literary fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. We have offices in Winston-Salem and Hamptonville, North Carolina, and publish full-length books by both new and established writers. In addition to finding and showcasing new writers and new books, we also have a fondness for bringing back great books that are out of print, which we re-issue under our Press 53 Classics imprint.
Despite our many ambitious projects, we are a very small company and are only able to produce 6-8 books per year. We do not publish books that are considered strictly "genre" books (westerns, mysteries, detective novels, romance novels, horror novels, children's books, or graphic novels). Try these fine presses: Blindside Publishing, Yard Dog Press, Poisoned Pen Press, Chippewa Publishing. Likewise, we cannot publish coffee table or picture books of any kind. We are frequently asked if we publish children's books. We do not, but we recommend these other fine presses that do: Carolina Wren Press, Barefoot Books, Junebug Books, Open Hand Books. Another exhaustive list of children's book publishers is available at BookMartket.com.
