INSPIRING AND INFORMING ENTHUSIASTS SINCE 1991

Fox Chapel Publishing started in 1991 when Alan Giagnocavo relocated from Canada to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Alan had worked at a family bookstore for many years and moved to the United States to start a business of his own. While making his journey to Lancaster, he passed through Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania, a community near Pittsburgh. He knew he wanted a business name associated with an animal mascot and felt the fox's quick-witted traits were fitting for his new company – Fox Chapel Publishing!

Currently, Fox Chapel has published more than 3,500 books and introduces nearly 200 new titles each year. We select our topics and our authors carefully and enjoy giving them and their talents the recognition they deserve. The scope of our book subjects has expanded over the years to include quilting, sewing, coloring and activity books, children’s books, home repair, cookbooks, gardening, homesteading, wood working, scroll saw, pets, travel, journals, and more!
