Our story.
Mary Holliman began Pocahontas Press in 1985, publishing her father’s autobiography, A Teacher’s Story. For the next quarter century she continued publishing stories in the form of poetry, autobiography, and history.
Upon Mary’s death, published author Michael Abraham, along with his wife Jane Abraham, and published author Deborah Warren, have seen the business through the years to its continued existence today.
It is my mission as the next owner of Pocahontas Press to support writers in the sharing of their stories. Although many published works will focus on the rich heritage of the Appalachian history, culture, music, memoirs, and poetry of the region’s people, Pocahontas Press will accept a diverse range of submissions for consideration.
Whatever your story is, I assure you it is as unique as you are.
