Persea Books publishes literary works in poetry, fiction, memoir, biography, anthologies, and revived classics. The company brings forward both debut voices and rediscovered authors, with its catalog also including significant translations. Its list features writers such as Marie Howe, Oscar Hijuelos, Paul Celan, and Gabrielle Calvocoressi, along
with a range of emerging poets and storytellers. Persea Books administers annual poetry prizes that provide publication opportunities for both first-time and established poets, expanding its role in supporting contemporary literature. Titles are distributed through trade partners and made available to educators through desk and examination copies. The publisher also manages permissions requests for reprints or reproduction of material, ensuring proper use of its works. While general fiction and nonfiction submissions are not accepted, the company considers poetry manuscripts through specific contests and selective submission channels.
