Sasquatch Books

Sasquatch Books LLC is an American book publishing company based in Seattle, Washington. It was founded in 1986 by David Brewster of the Seattle Weekly and primarily publishes nonfiction books about the western United States and Canada and cover topics such as nature, travel, gardening, entertainment, sports, food and wine. By 2003, it was publishing approximately 30 books per year and employed 18 people. In 2020, it launched a new imprint for young adult nonfiction called Spruce Books. Sasquatch Books was acquired by Penguin Random House in 2017 and later sold to Blue Star Press, an independent book publisher also based in the Pacific Northwest, in June 2024. The Blue Star Press deal returned Sasquatch Books to being an independent publisher, although its titles will continue to be distributed to retailers through the support of Penguin Random House Publisher Services.

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.
