Great American Publishers is a traditional small press. We publish books and cookbooks by various authors; we are not a vanity publisher nor do we produce print on demand books. Our publisher, Sheila Simmons, has more than 20 years experience in publishing and is supported by a staff with more than 20 years combined publishing experience.

It is our goal to produce high-quality, user-friendly cookbooks containing easy-to-follow, delicious recipes for the every day cook. This goal is realized with the Hometown Cookbook Series by Sheila Simmons and Kent Whitaker which features favorite recipes from hometown cooks all over the country — one state at a time. Perfect for cookbook collectors, armchair travelers and anyone who loves good recipes, the series includes Georgia Hometown Cookbook, Louisiana Hometown Cookbook, Tennessee Hometown Cookbook, and Texas Hometown Cookbook. Alaska Hometown Cookbook, Mississippi Hometown Cookbook and Virginia Hometown Cookbook are coming soon.

The One Foot in the Kitchen Cookbook Series – Quick Crockery Cooking, Quick Desserts, Quick Hors d’oeuvres, Quick Lunches & Brunches, Quick Mexican Cooking and Quick Soups ‘n Salads – will have you in and out of the kitchen fast with delicious meals your family will enjoy. Each book features 150 quick, easy recipes that use ingredients most people already have in their kitchen. “Foot” notes from the authors make preparing delicious, nutritious meals a snap.

Game for All Seasons Cookbook by veteran hunter, fisherman, and chef Harold Webster features 292 seasonal recipes for venison, fish, fowl, and other delicacies from field and water. Fans of Webster's previous wild-game cookbooks and his popular newspaper column will recognize his trademark recipe clarity and his expert advice on handling, preparing, and serving game. Included with the recipes are memoirs that chronicle Webster's passion for hunting and fishing throughout his life. Coming soon is Harold Webster's latest wild game cookbook -- Deer Camp Venison.

Beyond our cookbook line, we offer Kent Whitaker’s Big Mo’s Tennis Ball Hunt. This lively, rhyming story about Mo (a fun-loving golden retriever) will delight children of all ages as they help Mo search for his lost tennis balls. This book is a first pick for the Books for Every Child Program. Kent and Mo are spokesperson and spokesdog for ALPO® Chop House Originals Ribeye-Flavored dog food.

We are also proud to add Phil Hardwick to our publishing schedule. Phil is well-known in the Mississippi area for his Mississippi Mystery Series. His tenth book in the series, Letters from Lexington, will keep you guessing until the very end when five people receive a letter from Lexington... from a retired school teacher who was murdered weeks before the letter was written. Mississippi's favorite private investigator, Jack Boulder, follows clues from the Windy City to the Magnolia State and all around historic Lexington in his quest to find the truth. After many requests, Phil is now taking his mysteries national with the Great American Mystery Series. Watch for the first book, Alibi in Alabama, coming soon.

As our company grows, we will be adding to our cookbook line and publishing more regional non-fiction and children's titles. We remain committed to producing great books and cookbooks, but also to providing exemplary customer service. Our customers are important to us and we will go to any length to prove it. Every sale we make is 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
