Sightline Books: The Iowa Series in Literary Nonfiction (no longer acquiring)

Specializing in exceptional literary nonfiction, the titles in this series range from cultural commentary, nature writing, and historical inquiry to meditation, memoir, and narratively or thematically linked personal essays by emerging as well as established authors. In Carl H. Klaus’s words, “Sightline Books is a series of works that embody the richly varied knowledge, artfully crafted prose, and compelling authorial presence that characterize the most engaging contemporary nonfiction.”
