About Halesite Press

The  mission of Halesite Press is to make the brilliant literature of the Harlem Renaissance accessible to modern readers through anthologies and historic periodical reproductions

Halesite Press Began in 2014 with a picture book, All About Color Blindness. This story and fact book was the first comprehensive and accessible guide to an overlooked physical condition. It was chosen for the Next Generation Indie Book Award, the National Indie Excellence Book Award, and "Mom's Choice."

The list grew with two novels, The Clay Messiah and Sister Raven— stories rooted in history and sparked by fantasy. Both were honored with multiple independent press awards.

THE WOMEN OF THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE is a series of anthologies that honors the significant and nearly forgotten literary art by the women who helped forge an African American renaissance of art and ideals. Concise and comprehensive introductions add historical context to the timely and brilliant short stories, poems, plays, and essays. SHORT-TAKE ANTHOLOGIES are absorbing and fun: short stories, one-act plays, essays, and poems in collections of 100 pages or less.

A SUBSCRIPTION TO THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE is a series of quality reproductions of Harlem Renaissance periodicals. The magazines included in the series were among first national publications by-and-for African Americans. Every issue is a treasure trove of original creative writing, visual art, articles, and editorials.
