Redhawk Publications

Redhawk Publications is a university press initiative housed within Catawba Valley Community College in Hickory, North Carolina. One of only three literary presses based at a U.S. community college, it publishes artistic fiction, notable non-fiction, and regional instructional materials.

Redhawk Publications' first book was the 2016 release Polio, Pitchforks, and Perseverance: How a North Carolina County Named Catawba Built a "Miracle" (which later inspired a documentary film named Miracle). Since then, the press has released over 200 major works, including poetry compilations, history, non-fiction, children's books, memoirs, fiction, and instructional materials.

Redhawk Publications also co-sponsors the North Carolina Poetry Society's Lena Shull Book Award.
