Loblolly Press See other projects related to this listing. About Loblolly Press is an independent press based out of Asheville, North Carolina that is dedicated to publishing contemporary poetry, short fiction, and novels from emerging and marginalized writers across the South. Our goal is to publish writers with a distinctly Southern voice from communities and experiences not always represented in traditional publishing. We're striving to create a community of writers and readers who feel deeply connected to the work we publish because they can see themselves represented within it. Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions, except for writers of color. (Note: About 14% of publishers always charge fees.) The fee is USD $7 (below average for publishers that charge). Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to people living in the United States. Some submission periods may limit the demographic further.
