HELLGATE PRESS

Started in 1997, Hellgate Press is named after the historic Hellgate Canyon on the Rogue River (just a few miles from our office), which was the first river in the United States to be designated as a wild and scenic river. So, we like to think that the books we publish reflect the rugged yet subtle nature of this incredible river canyon. While our primary niche is Military History and Veteran Memoirs, we also offer a wide selection of Historical and Adventure Fiction, as well as non-fiction Adventure Travel.

Distribution

Our books are distributed nationwide to independent and chain booksellers and retailers, as well as discount houses, libraries, and book clubs through Ingram and/or Amazon KDP. Our ebooks are available through online retailers including Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and others.

Submitting a Book Proposal

If you want to know if we would consider publishing your work, please DO NOT CALL to describe the book over the phone. Instead, email a brief query that includes an overview of your book and tells us a little something about you, the author. If we’re interested, we’ll ask to see the entire manuscript.

Please note: We are not currently accepting new queries as our 2025 catalog is full. Please check back after Jan. 1, 2026.
