If you have a worthwhile manuscript or out-of-print title you would like to see made available to readers, visit this website.
Crickhollow Books is an imprint (managed by Great Lakes Literary) that publishes and markets a small number of books of quality nonfiction and fiction. We are a micro-press, and only tackle book projects that fit what we can do successfully.
In nonfiction, Crickhollow focuses on publications of practical advice for writers, also on nature and outdoors adventure, history, cultural heritage, and spirituality topics, and instructional how-to topics.
In fiction, Crickhollow looks for worthwhile projects in literary, commercial, and genre fiction, with a focus on good storytelling.
We will also offer Crickhollow Books for Young Readers, focusing on chapter books, mostly with a strong element of cultural heritage.
