Tips From the Editor

At Loblolly Press, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse literary community. We recognize the importance of amplifying voices that have historically been underrepresented and marginalized in the publishing world. We proudly prioritize submissions from Appalachian, Southern, Queer, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), elder, and rural writers.
