Non-Fiction

Red Fern Press is an independent book publishing press based in Ohio. We’re looking for both fiction and nonfiction work from debut authors to help launch their careers. We will also consider authors who are looking for a fresh start at a new publisher.

In nonfiction, we want submissions in the areas of sports, true crime, memoir, parenting, romance, relationships, inspirational, or comedy. We also love short story, creative nonfiction collections similar to Robert Fulgham, Chelsea Handler, Bell Hooks, and the like.

Debut nonfiction should be between 40,000 and 70,000 words. We will consider shorter lengths, but they must be extremely well-written.

DO NOT submit anything to Red Fern Press (or any publisher for that matter!) that has not been proofread or properly formatted. Your manuscript should be clean as a whistle, with proper margins, 12-point font, Times New Roman, double-spaced.
