Epicenter Press, Inc. is a mid-sized publisher based in Kenmore, Washington, with origins in Fairbanks, Alaska, dating back to 1988. It positions itself as the leading trade publisher of nonfiction about Alaska, building a catalog of more than 175 titles across history, memoirs and biographies, adventure, aviation, humor, true crime, mystery and the unexplained, sled dog mushing, women's stories, and Native American culture. The house focuses on nonfiction and gift or art books, and it does not publish fiction, poetry, or children's titles, while inviting nonfiction proposals and queries tied to Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Epicenter seeks well-written, fast-paced nonfiction about life in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest and welcomes both unagented and agent submissions, discouraging multiple submissions. It also operates Aftershocks Media, a division that supports independent publishers, businesses, non-profits, and individual authors with publishing, marketing, and distribution, and in 2017 released Klee Wyck Journal: The Making of a Wilderness Retreat.
