Parkgate Press goes live!

Parkgate Press is a new, independent publisher of literary and crime fiction (imprint Dionysus Books), non-fiction and academic books (imprint F Street Books) and poetry (imprint Prometheus Poetry). Our hardbacks are published by Parkgate Originals and our e-book by Parkgate Digital.

We seek to bring those titles to the marketplace which are often overlooked by mainstream publishers, works we believe have a distinctive voice and can reach a viable audience. We supply directly to Amazon and BN.com.

We are welcoming submissions and proposals for academic mongraphs (including Ph.D. dissertations), novellas, literary novels (up to 160,000 words), crime novels (up to 100,000 words), short story collections, poetry collections, general non-fiction (especially history), and biographies (especially literary biographies).

All Parkgate Press books are printed on acid-free paper.
