Longacre specialized in non-fiction, including self-help, food, the outdoors, and natural history books. Additionally, it published junior and young-adult fiction, and work by writers such as Owen Marshall, Brian Turner, Lynley Hood, and Jack Lasenby for which it won multiple national book awards.[1][2]
In 2003, the company took on the catalogue of Shoal Bay Press of Christchurch. At about the same time, the distribution of Longacre's books changed from Macmillan Books to Random House.[1] Longacre Press was acquired by Random House in 2009.[3]
