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 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]

Post Hill Press Revenues are less than $1,000,000 annually. Books published by Post Hill include those by a range of media and political figures, entertainers, motivational speakers, and commentators. Post Hill's publisher is Anthony Ziccardi, formerly publisher of Humanix Books, a division of Newsmax Media, and associate publisher of Simon & Schuster's Gallery imprint.[4]

In March 2019, Post Hill acquired Fidelis Books from LifeWay Christian Resources.[5]

Controversies

In 2021 the press announced plans to publish a memoir by Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, a police officer in Louisville, Kentucky who was wounded during the 2020 raid on the apartment of Breonna Taylor that resulted in her death. There was widespread opposition to this proposal on social media. The regular distributor, Simon & Schuster, said that it would not handle this book.[6] [7]
