Blue Osprey Books

Award-Winning Nonfiction and Fiction

From 2016-2023, Blue Osprey Books (under the name Blue Crow Books) was a traditional small press located in Chapel Hill, NC, publishing award-winning adult and young adult fiction and trade nonfiction. From 2023-2025, it transitioned to an author cooperative.
