Begun in 1999, Pocol Press is a leading small press publishing firm dedicated to producing high-quality books from first-time, non-agented authors. However, all submissions are welcome. We`re dedicated to good storytellers and to the written word, specializing in short fiction, baseball, and our established e-book market. Our growing list of genres includes Fiction (who says the short story is dead?), Baseball (satisfying and unusual non-fiction and fiction titles), War Stories (not just blood and guts), Western (the finest cowboys and indians authors alive), Spiritual (Judeo-Christian), and Memoir (unheralded but vital). Several of our books have been used as literary texts at universities and in book group discussions around the nation. Pocol Press does not publish children`s books, romance novels, or graphic novels.
We`re also a "home" for books about Nineteenth Century Baseball, maintaining an extensive list of over 290 titles. And, when it comes to other media, Pocol Press, offers our books on Amazon as ebooks and Audible/Audiobook spoken volumes.
Pocol Press encourages reader reviews of our books on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and other web sites.

My father, a career soldier, died of cancer in 1998. A dedicated family man, he passed along a gift to me, far more valuable than any amount of money. That gift was the love of reading. In memory of, and to honor him, I started Pocol Press.
As our firm is often asked, we`re named after a mountain in Italy in the Dolomites range. On that mountain is Hotel Pocol. Our press publishes only the highest quality writing. We`re not exactly beach reading.
