THE HYPOCRITE PRESS was founded in 1991 in CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA to publish books by Charlottesville authors written about Charlottesville. We serve as a growing literary archive of and for Charlottesville by printing and distributing the works of local authors who choose to write about their lives here. Our fundamental focus remains that of recording, guiding, and informing the life of small southern ‘alternative’ towns. Books have generally been priced at production cost rounded to the nearest whole-dollar. Proceeds of the press are used to promote publications and to take risks on new authors. Purchases are anonymous: we cannot see who orders from the website. We have consistently operated without external support, which has facilitated our fierce independence. The Hypocrite Press has been recognized by the National Endowment for the Arts as a regional literary publisher. “everything’s black and white.” For questions and comments: [email protected] .
