Bellevue Literary Press . . . must be lauded for its prescience in publishing.
— Joan Frank, San Francisco Chronicle
From Our Authors
I first heard of Bellevue Literary Press when I was judging fiction for the National Book Awards several years ago. I was struck by the fact that the novels from Bellevue were wholly original works of art and had much more energy and syncopation than the novels I was reading from traditional publishing houses and other small presses. Bellevue seemed to have a daring mission: to publish novels that defied literary trends and was not trying to shadow the marketplace.
Award Winning Titles
Full of speculative daring though firmly anchored in the tradition of realism, Tim Horvath’s Understories explores hypothetical cities, shadow puppeteers, and the imaginary travels of a library book—blending the everyday and wondrous to contend with age-old themes of loss, identity, and the search for human connection.
