We are a traditional independent press located in Raleigh, North Carolina, and proudly accessible to all writers of finely crafted contemporary fiction, literary fiction, and historical fiction. Regal House has two imprints: Fitzroy Books that publishes Middle Grade and Young Adult fiction, and Pact Press, our social impact imprint, that publishes works that promote diversity, inclusion, and acceptance. We publish short story collections through our W.S. Porter Prize and poetry collections via our Terry J. Cox Poetry Award.
We are a traditional press, which means there is absolutely no cost to authors who publish with us.

Spring Acquisitions Meeting: April 14, 2023
Summer Acquisitions Meeting: August 15, 2023

The RHP team may ask you for additional marketing information that may be useful in our assessment.
Storefront Return & Exchange Policy: While we are happy to issue a refund at any point before your item has shipped, once it has been put in the mail, we can no longer issue refunds. We appreciate your understanding in this matter, and, as always, are immensely grateful for your support of an independent press. If you have ordered more than one product from our website, they will be shipped together. Please also be aware that a preordered book will ship immediately upon a title’s release. For example, if you preorder a book in January that is to be released August 19, it will ship out to you on August 19 when that book is released.
