UPNE | Hardscrabble Books–Fiction of New England

Hardscrabble Books

Hardscrabble Logo “Hardscrabble’s a good name, conveying the sense of inspired desperation that causes otherwise sane persons to try things like farming in New England or publishing high-quality literary fiction.”—Yankee

“Hardscrabble’s logo is a dandelion—a beautiful, edible weed that, like serious fiction, refuses to be eradicated.”—Boston Globe

“As a New Englander, and as a novelist, it is exciting for me to see that University Press of New England has made such a major commitment to New England fiction. To see writers of the quality of Thomas Williams and Ernest Hebert acknowledged in this way is heartening.”—John Irving

Hardscrabble Books publishes “fiction of New England,” both original works and paperback reprints. The name Hardscrabble conveys a sense of human experience as shaped by environment. From the White Mountains of New Hampshire to the coast of Maine to the woods of Vermont; from urban centers such as Boston to Provincetown on the tip of Cape Cod, Hardscrabble Books also represent the breadth and rich variety of New England. Like the tough and attractive dandelion flower of the logo, Hardscrabble Books are aesthetically satisfying, useful, ubiquitous, and, when properly fermented, intoxicating.

Hardscrabble titles are selected with the help and guidance of an advisory board of authors, booksellers, and scholars.

AUTHORS, PLEASE NOTE: We are not accepting submissions for the
Hardscrabble fiction series at this time.

In the fall of 1999, UPNE celebrated the fifth anniversary (and tenth season) of Hardscrabble Books with a party for authors, booksellers, and staff.
