Established in 1988, Pecan Grove Press is sponsored by The Louis J. Blume Library of St. Mary's University. The press publishes books and chapbooks of fine poetry and, very rarely, short works of prose. PGP also publishes a regular chapbook series for students at St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas.

Pecan Grove Press will resume reading manuscripts in November 2008.

We are also pleased to announce the resumption of our annual National Chapbook Competition.  Click on the Chapbook Contest link at the bottom opf this page for more information.
