F.A.Q.s

What is Prairieland Press?
Prairieland Press is a small midwest publishing company. We focus on publishing quality books for readers of all ages as well as educational materials for teachers.

Who is the owner of Prairieland Press?
Prairieland Press is owned and operated by N. L. Sharp. Sharp is the author of several books for children, including the picture book Today I’m Going Fishing with My Dad (a former Nebraska Golden Sower nominee) and the middle grade novel Keeping Captain, the 2017 Nebraska Center for the Book Award winner in the Children’s Category.

What is the story behind Prairieland Press?
In 2004, Sharp was publishing with a small Nebraska publisher out of Crete, Nebraska. When that publishing company declared bankruptcy, Sharp was faced with a decision. She could either watch her book The Ring Bear disappear or she could establish her own company to market and sell through the inventory on that title.

She chose the second option and Prairieland Press was born. Originally, Prairieland Press was committed solely to N. L. Sharp and her books. But in 2015, Sharp opened the doors of her publishing house to a limited number of other authors.

What types of books do you publish at Prairieland Press?
Prairieland Press proudly publishes books that we believe are suitable for the entire family. Because Sharp was a teacher for more than twenty years, Prairieland Press is currently in the process of creating an educational writing curriculum, as well.

Where may I purchase your books?
Besides the usual suspects (local bookstores, Amazon, etc.) our books are available through the wholesale distributor Ingram. But if you want multiple copies of one or more titles of our titles, please contact us directly for special pricing.
