A Southern Appalachian Publisher

Bright Mountain Books is devoted to publishing high-quality books pertaining to the Southern Appalachians, particularly the Great Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Our primary emphasis is regional nonfiction, but we also publish some historical fiction written by local authors.

Historically based fiction, and reprints of classic works such as James Mooney’s History, Myths, and Sacred Formulas of the Cherokees, are published under our Historical Images imprint. Our newer imprint, Ridgetop Books, represents the work of local authors who choose a more limited range of production.
