OLMOS PARK PRESS, based in San Antonio, Texas, serves readers who are keen to learn about the rich mosaic that is the literary and cultural heritage of Mexico, Texas, and the American West. In addition, we serve those readers who are curious about the world and relish in that glorious literary genre, at its poetic best a vivid dream: the travel memoir.
More specifically, we publish a select number (about 8 per year) of new and affordable paperback editions, beautifully designed inside and out, of notable works of fiction and nonfiction (primarily memoir) of Mexico, Texas, and the American West. In addition, we publish the “Vintage Lenses on the World That Was” series of masterworks of English-language world literary travel memoir.
Whether published for its outstanding literary quality or its historical importance (or both), an Olmos Park Press title exemplifies the power of individual spirit and consciousness.
Founded by Catherine Mansell (who writes as C.M. Mayo, Mayo being her maternal family name), Olmos Park Press takes its name from its home, the century-old enclave within the city of San Antonio, Texas. Olmo is the Spanish word for elm. Across the centuries, elm trees have stood for endurance, flexibility, rebirth, and wisdom.
