Call for Local History Authors in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Connecticut

Call for Local History Authors in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Connecticut

The History Press is searching for historians, archivists, and historical societies who are interested in publishing books about towns and regions in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecticut.

History Press books focus on a particular town or region. We have developed a variety of series that 1) provide authors with guidance on how to present their work and 2) attract readers and encourage sales. We also accept books for publication on history subjects not captured by the series we have established.

The History Press publishes a wide range of books. Examples include the following: brief or comprehensive histories of towns, the history of significant buildings and sites, natural history, oral history, historical walking and driving tours, collections of essays on historical events and people, folklore, crime history, architectural history, Native American history and the historical role of a town industry. I invite you to visit our website at http://historypress.net, where you will find our catalogue and information about publishing with The History Press.

The History Press is a traditional trade publisher, meaning that we handle all stages of publishing including financing, sales, marketing, and distribution and compensate in the form of royalties. We are not a vanity press. For more information and to view our catalogue, see historypress.net or e-mail Commissioning Editor, Maureen Benes.
