Allow me to introduce myself as the Ohio Commissioning Editor for The History Press, a publisher of local and regional history books. I’m quite interested in publishing a book on the history of Ohio and Ohioans during the Civil War and am hoping you might have some interest in working on this project.

Of course, this would be the perfect time to begin work on a book of this nature. At The History Press, we have a Civil War Sesquicentennial Series, and we’ve done quite well with those titles; each book in that series focuses on a specific battle of the war. We’re also in the very early stages of a book project that takes a look at Maine during the Civil War and will be publishing a book on Notre Dame during the Civil War in the coming months.

Before I continue, let me assure you that we are not a vanity press. There’s no fee when publishing with us. Our authors are paid in royalties.

At this point, we have eight Ohio books in print and about 16 more on the way. I’d love to add a Civil War title to the mix.

Again, I do hope you have some interest in this project. If it’s something you’re not keen on tackling, I do hope you’d be willing to help me get the ball moving on this by passing my information along to historians/ authors who may be interested in working on a book of this nature.

I hope to hear from you. In the meantime, I encourage you to visit our website at http://www.historypress.net. You’ll find that we publish beautiful books.

Regards,
