Longleaf Press

About this Publisher

Longleaf Press publishes poetry and prose of exceptional literary merit by both established and emerging authors. We are interested in language that is not merely reflective but transformative. Founded in 1997, Longleaf Press was the brainchild of Michael Colonnese and Robin Greene, English and Writing professors at Methodist College (later Methodist University), who were also the de facto creative writing program’s only faculty members. Writers themselves, they understood the importance of providing chapbook publication opportunities as few of these then existed.
