Meet Our Authors

Loblolly Press works with writers whose voices are rooted in the South and shaped by the realities of living here now. Our authors bring work attentive to place, labor, ecology, queerness, race, and class. Together, they expand what Southern literature can be, centering writers who have been pushed to the margins and publishing work that is specific, rigorous, and alive to its origins.
