Forest Avenue Press will open for unagented novels later in 2024. You can read about our postponement here.

We are a traditional press based in Portland, Oregon, with a strong commitment to our authors’ happiness during what can be an emotionally challenging journey. We pay advances and royalties and have an in-house publicist to spread the word about each title. Independent bookstores and libraries are our primary sales channels; we love booksellers and librarians and honor that each reader matters when it comes to spreading the word about a book.

Forest Avenue is distributed to the trade by Publishers Group West, a division of Ingram.
