Post Hill Press

Post Hill Press, distributed by Simon & Schuster, is a small United States print and e-book publishing house that focuses on publishing "conservative politics" and Christian titles.[2] The company was founded in 2013, and has offices in New York City and Nashville, Tennessee. In 2017, the company added the Bombardier Books division for conservative politics and military books. In August 2020, they also announced a new imprint, Emancipation Books, to "give a voice to black and minority authors--including conservatives, libertarians, traditional liberals, and iconoclasts--whose nonconforming views are seldom represented in mainstream media, and find themselves increasingly unwelcome at the larger publishing houses."[3]

Published works controversies

They published a "memoir by a Louisville police officer who fired at Breonna Taylor" during the "deadly raid on Taylor’s apartment." After pushback, they said they would still "release the book even though its distributor, Simon & Schuster, announced it would 'not be involved.'"[11] [12]
