HISTORY
Stories from the past
Fascinating people, places and moments in history that have caught our attention.
ABOUT Last Cross Publishing
Stories worth remembering.
We believe some of the most fascinating stories are the ones that history has forgotten.
We are a company dedicated to the written word. At the heart of everything we do is a passion for stories, ideas, and the power of books to inform, inspire, and endure.
We are particularly drawn to historical fiction, especially stories that bring fascinating characters, places and periods of the past to life. Beyond that, we are looking for strong writing, memorable characters and stories that stay with the reader. We are interested in both established and emerging voices, and we're always open to being surprised by a manuscript.
We want to give talented authors the opportunity to bring these stories to life — and give readers the chance to discover the people and events that deserve to be remembered.
