Princeton Architectural Press

PA Press (formerly Princeton Architectural Press) is a book publisher founded in 1981 by Kevin Lippert in Princeton, New Jersey, which is now a division of Chronicle Books based in New York City. Originally focused on architecture, it has broadened its scope to include new nonfiction book categories such as nature, gardening, cookbooks, and pop culture, as well as illustrated children's books and stationery and puzzle products. PA Press is not related to or affiliated with Princeton University Press.

Large trade publishers generally accept manuscripts only through literary agents, while many independent and small presses accept direct submissions during reading periods. Before submitting anywhere, read the publisher's current guidelines, study recent books on its list, and never pay a reading or publishing fee to a traditional publisher.
