PPBBlogBackground_c3What kind of stories will you find at Painted Pony Books? The kind young people want to read.

Painted Pony Books (PPB) , an imprint of Prairie Rose Publications, which was founded by Cheryl Pierson and Livia J. Washburn in  2013, offers an outstanding variety of novels, short stories, and novellas in the western and historical genres for Middle Grade (ages 9-12), Young Adult (13-17), and New Adult (18-24) readers.

Reading is becoming a lost art in society. It takes a lot to “rope in” a reader of any age and hold their interest, but a well-written, interesting story will do just that. The goal at Painted Pony Books is to provide the best in western and historical short stories, novellas, and novels to keep younger readers reading.

Submissions for PPB are open. For guidelines on submitting and other publishing information, please visit the submissions page: SUBMISSIONS
