Welcome to Apprentice House, the nation’s only campus-based, student-staffed book publisher!  A series of three courses offered through Loyola University's communication department dovetail with the project development, design, and marketing of real books by authors who, for the most part, are unaffiliated with Loyola.

Since 2006, Apprentice House has published nearly thirty titles across the spectrum of genres, from memoir to travel and from Shakespeare to shipwrecks.  Our books are printed digitally at Lightning Source, Inc., which is owned by Ingram, the country's largest book wholesaler. That means Apprentice House books are available to any bookstore in the country and are on amazon.com.

Stories about Apprentice House have appeared in Publishers Weekly, Baltimore Sun, City Paper, Urbanite, and the newsletter of the Independent Book Publishers Association.

So if you want to be part of Apprentice House's growing stable of authors, and help young people experience publishing books first-hand, check out our Submission Guidelines here.
