To celebrate Pocol Press's continuing success, we occasionally offer huge discounts on our older titles. Please email us at the Feedback section for details. Pocol Press thanks our readers, authors, and business partners for their support throughout our first decade.
Began in 1999, Pocol Press is a 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 emerging e-book market. 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.
Our website features a collection of book reviews devoted to Pocol Press titles and offers Sneak Peeks into our books. We're also a "home" for books about Nineteenth Century Baseball, maintaining an extensive list of over 200 titles.
Pocol Press encourages reader reviews of our books on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and other web sites.
In addition to our book publishing venture, Pocol Press offers editorial services for authors who have not contracted books with us (see link on site), index services (email for details) and transcription services (email for details).
Pocol Press is a member of the Small Press Publishers Association of America and is listed in the International Directory of Little Magazines and Small Presses, 37th Edition, edited by Len Fulton; Writer's Market, and Literary Market Place.
My father, Joseph Streamer Hetrick, 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.
-J. Thomas Hetrick, Owner, Operator
