“Bellevue Literary Press is a small press in New York that publishes books about the intersection between the arts and sciences. It’s fascinating. Their books are just gems. It’s hard to find a Bellevue Literary Press book that, for me, doesn’t work.”

From our Authors

Michael Coffey

From the review of my manuscript to acceptance to contract execution to assembling of promotional materials, cover design, copy-editing, things have proceeded swiftly yet unhurriedly. [Bellevue Literary Press] is a small press that, unlike most—and I’ve seen many—is ahead of the game, on top of the schedule, and does so with the understanding that in order to have the best chance to succeed as a small, not to mention predominantly literary press, you must engage with the entire chain of supply and support that is out there. . . . This is how to publish, especially today. . . . Bellevue’s creative, productive drive has inspired me to do all I can in support of what now feels like a partnership. Bellevue stands out, among presses small and large, in being able to manage the lead times that a book published today demands, and to do so with absolute focus and conviction. And, if I may, all this is done with exquisite literary taste.
