The Field Press
Grisham Field Press is my Company’s publishing imprint. I publish literary, scientific, educational, historical, and naturalist work in print, digital, and audio formats: books, essays, field journals, oral histories, and related media, written to be accurate to the land and the people they describe and made to last.
Now available
Clouds: A Family, a Farm, and a Cotton Farmer’s Poetic License

A field biologist turns the ecologist’s eye on his own family and the disappearing Delta that made them.

Operation Triple Crown
If you knew the names, you knew the game.
A group of teenage idiots, a few grown men who should’ve known better, and not a single synaptic linkage among us.
Upcoming signings
Saturday, November 14, 2026
Buffalo Island Museum, 207 West Drew Avenue, Monette, Arkansas
Time to be announced.
Bring your own copy of Clouds and I will sign it, or buy one there: I will have paperback and hardcover copies at the table.
More signings will be listed here as they are set.
For writers
The Press also takes on a small number of books by other writers, especially colleagues whose work fits it: literary, scientific, educational, historical, or naturalist. I bring the writing and editing skills of a scientist, what I have learned taking Clouds from manuscript to print, and expertise in the subjects the Press covers.
Every book gets its own quote and its own written agreement, made after a first conversation, that spells out what I will do and any fees. The first conversation costs nothing and commits no one. To ask about a manuscript, write to me at grishamfieldandfeather@gmail.com with a few lines about the book and a sample chapter.
