Welcome to Fayetteville Mafia Press, founded in 2018 by David Bushman and Scott Ryan as a writer-centric independent publisher dedicated to producing high-quality nonfiction by authors with distinctive voices and original insights into the world around them.

Located in New York City and Columbus, Ohio, we are a full-service general-trade publisher offering short-run or high-volume printed editions in numerous sizes as well as electronic books in all standard formats. Our authors get highly personalized attention from the founding editors/publishers throughout, from editing to publishing to marketing to distribution and sales. We are looking for bold, gifted writers with distinctive voices and fresh perspectives. We specialize in media-themed books but eagerly accept submissions in all nonfiction genres.

The nomenclature is loosely borrowed from season four of what we consider to be one of the greatest television shows of all time: The Wire. Airing from 2002 to 2008, the Baltimore-set-and-shot cop-shop drama was frequently compared to a Dickensian novel, with rich, multiple characterizations and a sprawling narrative exploring complex, profound themes, but in a way that was accessible and compelling. Above all, it was about the writing. Hence, our name.

Fayetteville Mafia Press launched in 2018 with Last Days of Letterman. We publish 4-7 books a year about Pop Culture, True Crime, and sports. Titles include Laura’s Ghost: Women Speak about Twin Peaks, Moonlighting: An Oral History, The Women of Series, and Conversations with Mark Frost.

Authors include: Joseph Dougherty, Courtenay Stallings, David Lee Morgan, Jr., Jack Wollitz, Ronda Racha Penrice, Scott Ryan, David Bushman, Scarlett Harris and many others.
