About the press
Sunbury Press is an independent publishing house based in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, founded in 2004 by Lawrence Knorr. Initially focused on regional history and fiction, it has expanded to include several imprints, such as Catamount Press, which emphasizes narratives of ambition and place, particularly in mountain regions. The press maintains a commitment to publishing works that might otherwise be overlooked by larger commercial houses, with a particular interest in Mid-Atlantic and Appalachian stories. Its core mission is to provide a platform for authors whose voices are rooted in specific locales and communities, often blending historical research with literary craft.
