Lyons Press was founded in 1984. Their initial focus was on a lifestyle of “responsible outdoor sport,” according to their founder Nick Lyon. They have since expanded their focus to books on fishing, hunting, nature, animals, military history, American history, entertainment, true crime and sports. They are now an imprint of Globe Pequot, which you can learn more about here.
You can get a good feel for what they publish by going to their catalog here. They appear to publish about four books a year.
You can see their submission guidelines, along with the submission guidelines for Globe Pequot’s other imprints, here. Please note that not all of the imprints open to submissions appear to be actively publishing work still.
