Old American Publishing Writer's Guidelines


Biographies Fiction Family Histories Poetry


Old American Publishing specializes in historical, nonfiction books about small towns and cities throughout America. If you are an experienced writer and are interested in writing a history book about your hometown, please send a query letter and a URL showing samples of your work.

Old American Publishing is not a vanity publisher, so please do not send us any unsolicited manuscripts. Unsolicited manuscripts will not be read or returned.

Old American Publishing does not give advances on books. We do not publish thousands of copies to send to bookstores, and we do not sell books on consignment. We do, however, pay good royalties to writers on books, even books that do not sell very well. So if you are a writer and you want to write nonfiction books for fun and profit, we may be the right publisher for you.
