Redhawk Publications

Redhawk Publications is a university press associated with Catawba Valley Community College in Hickory, North Carolina. One of only three literary presses housed within a community college in the United States, its purpose is to publish and distribute artistic fiction and noteworthy non-fiction titles in addition to instructional textbooks and course materials from the region.

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 140 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.
