About Drury Ridge Press
Based in Lafayette, Tennessee, Drury Ridge Press was created to champion compelling, concise writing. As a dedicated imprint of Deep Read Press, we provide a welcoming home for quality shorter manuscripts that deserve to be read.
A home for short-form brilliance
Great stories do not always need to be novel-length. As an imprint of Deep Read Press, Drury Ridge Press was founded specifically to serve talented writers whose work was exceptional but too brief for standard publishing models. We specialize in novellas, long essays, and focused narratives between 7,500 and 20,000 words, bringing them to life as polished eBooks.
Honest, author-first publishing
Here at Drury Ridge Press, we never charge authors for our services. Instead, we invest directly into your work, offering expert editing, professional formatting, striking cover design, and marketing support with the same dedication given to all Deep Read Press titles. Authors remain active partners throughout every step of production and earn honest royalties on every sale.
Stories across genres
We consider most genres across fiction and nonfiction. Whether you write mystery, literary fiction, memoirs, or insightful topical essays, we look for engaging voices and refined storytelling. While we warmly welcome creative diversity, we maintain high standards and never accept malicious or obscene material.
"We believe in honesty, craftsmanship, and total dedication to our authors at every step of their literary journey."
