Independent. Regional. Publishing.
Loblolly Press exists to expand what Southern literature can hold, and to build the kind of literary home where readers recognize themselves and feel closer to the work and to each other. The press is small by design, and works from three commitments: depth over speed, long-term partnership with authors rather than quick acquisition, and transparency about what publishing actually costs and what writers actually receive.
Get to know Loblolly Press
Loblolly Press is an independent literary publisher based in Asheville, North Carolina. The press publishes contemporary poetry and prose rooted in the American South — work that reflects how people live here now, not how the region is remembered or marketed.
