Independent. Regional. Publishing.
Loblolly Press is an independent publisher based in Asheville, North Carolina. We publish contemporary poetry and prose rooted in the American South, with an editorial focus shaped by place, lived experience, and long-term care for the work. Our list reflects how people live here now, not how the region is often remembered or marketed.
Get to know Loblolly Press
Loblolly Press was founded to make room for work that often struggles to find a sustained home in traditional publishing. We publish writers whose voices are shaped by the South and attentive to the pressures of living here now. Our goal is not to define Southern literature, but to expand its possibilities through careful editorial practice and long-term partnership with our authors.
