About the Press

Ravenna prides itself on bringing together the discerning reader and the stimulating book. Our titles have been reviewed at Kirkus, The American Book Review, Rain Taxi, Bookslut, New Pages and others.

Publishing since 1999, we offer our high standards, editorial good sense, innovative nature, selective taste, commitment to the written word and determination to put forward high quality work in prose and poetry and other media that too often is not supported by mainstream, profit-driven publishers.

Please browse our prose and poetry titles and order online or by check to Ravenna Press Books, as you prefer. Most of our books are also listed at Amazon.com and all are available via your independent bookstore.

Please note:  We are currently closed to new submissions except for the Triple Series, for which we are actively seeking poetry (up to 600 lines) and prose (up to 3500 words.)  See details of the series here.  To submit, contact the editor by email at editor@ravennapress.com, placing Triple Series in the subject line..

To the trade: For bookstore/university/wholesale discounts or other information, please contact the editor. We offer standard terms to the trade, including returns.
