Gloucester
Press

Nonfiction rooted in research, evidence, and the stories that endure.

Gloucester Press is an independent publisher specializing in nonfiction rooted in research, evidence, and practical expertise. We publish books built on primary sources, archival research, and a commitment to getting it right — whether the subject is military history, institutional accountability, or protecting what matters most.

Gloucester Press believes that rigorous research and compelling storytelling are not competing values — they are the same value, expressed differently.

Do You Know a Story That Deserves to Be Told?

Gloucester Press is always searching for the next untold story — the kind buried in archives, hidden by institutions, or preserved only in the memories of those who were there. We are especially interested in stories of moral courage, institutional concealment, and ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances.

If you know of a story that has never been fully told — one built on real events, real documents, and real people — we want to hear from you.
