With smaller print runs and often an intimate relationship with readers, these smaller houses are able to take bigger risks than their larger counterparts and are finding truly excellent writers outside the mainstream. Don’t miss works from Open Letter, Deep Vellum, Bellevue Literary Press, Catapult, Restless Books, Two Dollar Radio and Los Angeles’ Unnamed Press; like more established independents Graywolf and McSweeney’s, they are delivering so much genuinely exciting fiction that they make it look easy.

When Bellevue came up she said two things that have stayed with me: first, they are part of that small, elite group that is the most interesting sector of American publishing and, second, that Bellevue in particular truly cares about their authors. My collaboration with Erika Goldman started in the late 1990s, so neither comment was a surprise. Nonetheless, it was welcome affirmation of the esteem in which Erika and Bellevue are rightfully held.
